When I was playing with some code while working on the gradient tutorials, I had a genius idea to allow the user to select the end color of the radial gradient by clicking a location on the linear gradient. Of course this would mean the linear gradient would have to run through all the colors.
I actually had it working to a point, but realized it was *way* too much for a tutorial on gradients, so I hung onto the code and finished what I was doing.
Later thinking about that code, the thought struck me that nobody has done a color-picker in Silverlight yet... maybe because the code would just be really simple. So I started thinking about sliders and how to pick the colors and came up with a fun presentation that you can see above.
Also included is interaction between a html text box and button and the Silverlight code, as well as a silverlight button to copy the resultant to the clipboard.
As always the image is a link to the article, and code is included!
Stay in the 'Light!
