Objective

In this article, I will explain couple of things step by step

1. How to work with Radio Button control of Silver Light 3.0
2. How to Rotate Image in Silver Light

Expected Output

On selecting Radio Button Image will rotate in some angle.

 Procedure
Create a Silver Light application by File -> New -> Project -> SilverLight then selecting Silver Light Application project template. Host the SilverLightApplication1 in Web Application
Design the Silver Light page. Add Radio Buttons like below

MainPage.Xaml

<UserControl xmlns:data=”clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Data”
x:Class=”SilverlightApplication1.MainPage”

xmlns=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation&#8221;

xmlns:x=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml&#8221;

xmlns:d=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008&#8243; xmlns:mc=”http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006&#8243;

mc:Ignorable=”d” d:DesignWidth=”640″ d:DesignHeight=”480″>

<Grid x:Name=”LayoutRoot” Background=”Azure”>

<Grid.RowDefinitions>

<RowDefinition Height=”400″/>

<RowDefinition Height=”*” />

</Grid.RowDefinitions>

<Image x:Name=”imgToDisplay” Height=”400″ Width=”300″ Source=”a.jpg”
Grid.Row=”0″/>

<StackPanel Orientation=”Horizontal” Grid.Row=”1″>

<RadioButton x:Name=”rdBtnLeft” Content=”Left” Click=”rdBtnName_Click”
HorizontalAlignment=”Right” />

<RadioButton x:Name=”rdBtnRight” Content=” Right” Click=”rdBtnName_Click”
HorizontalAlignment=”Right”/>

<RadioButton x:Name=”rdBtnUp” Content=”Up” Click=”rdBtnName_Click”
HorizontalAlignment=”Right”/>

<RadioButton x:Name=”rdBtndown” Content=”Down” Click=”rdBtnName_Click”
HorizontalAlignment=”Right” />

<Button x:Name=”btnRotate” Content=” Rotate” Click=”btnRotate_Click” HorizontalAlignment=”Center” Height=”65″ Width=”100″
/>

</StackPanel>

</Grid>

</UserControl>

 Code Behind

1. Add same event for click on all radio buttons.
2. In the click event of radio buttons, I am assigning sender’s name and checking it in a switch case.
   string radioButton = ((FrameworkElement)sender).Name;
   switch (radioButton)
   

{

}

 

1. Rotation of image is being performed by RotateTransform class.
   

   
   RotateTransform rotate = new
   RotateTransform();
   

2. In click event of Button we are checking radio button’s isChecked property. If IsChecked is true for a radio button it means that radio button is selected.
   

   
   if (rdBtnLeft.IsChecked == true)
   

   {
   

   }
    

MainPage.Xaml.cs

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Net;

using System.Windows;

using System.Windows.Controls;

using System.Windows.Documents;

using System.Windows.Input;

using System.Windows.Media;

using System.Windows.Media.Animation;

using System.Windows.Shapes;

namespace SilverlightApplication1

{

public
partial
class
MainPage : UserControl

{

int parameter = 0;

public MainPage()

{

InitializeComponent();

}
private
void rdBtnName_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

RotateTransform rotate = new
RotateTransform();

string radioButton = ((FrameworkElement)sender).Name;

switch (radioButton)

{

case
“rdBtnLeft”:

rotate.Angle = 30;

imgToDisplay.RenderTransform = rotate;

break;

case
“rdBtnRight”:

rotate.Angle = 45;

imgToDisplay.RenderTransform = rotate;

break;

case
“rdBtnUp”:

rotate.Angle = 60;

imgToDisplay.RenderTransform = rotate;

break;

case
“rdBtndown” :

rotate.Angle = 360;

imgToDisplay.RenderTransform = rotate;

break;

}

}

 private
void btnRotate_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

RotateTransform rotate = new
RotateTransform();

if (rdBtnLeft.IsChecked == true)

{

rotate.Angle = 30;

imgToDisplay.RenderTransform = rotate;

}

else
if (rdBtnRight.IsChecked == true)

{

rotate.Angle = 45;

imgToDisplay.RenderTransform = rotate;

}

else
if (rdBtnUp.IsChecked == true)

{

rotate.Angle = 60;

imgToDisplay.RenderTransform = rotate;

}

else

{

rotate.Angle = 90;

imgToDisplay.RenderTransform = rotate;

}}}}
