Silverlight 2.0 Tweener(Of T) Ultimate Version

Christian Merighi sent me this, and when I looked at his blog, this is the third version he's posted in a few days, so when he says 'Ultimate Version'... he's not kidding... I'm not 'up' on tweening, but the demo is very smooth and cool. Lots of source and instructions... thanks Christian!

agTweener - Updated for Silverlight 2.0

To give some contrast, I had marked Michael Cameron's post to blog it last night, so here's MC's Tweener code as well... source is on CodePlex!

Sam Landstrom posted a huge tutorial on all types of animations in SL2 -- do NOT skip reading this!!... great material, thanks Sam!

    I let a tool I liked sit dead for a year rather than build the features I wanted. An MCP server meant I never had to, and your customers can do the same to your product.
