I thought I would post the source code for a control that I typically demonstrate at my Silverlight presentations. I usually show this control at the end of my presentation, so I never really get to talk about the control as much as I like.
As you can probably infer from the image below, this control presents 4 stars/hearts/whatever and, by hovering your mouse over the control, you can change the state of the control. Clicking on a particular star will set the rating for the selector. I think this screenshot really illustrates the awesome skinning capabilities of Silverlight. Keep in mind, I built these control skins myself in very little time and I have no formal training in artistic design. All of the skins are vectors and can be resized as required. Also, since the control logic is encapsulated, creating a new skin does not require you to dive down into the code!
I'd appreciate your feedback on the control. I'm sure there are a lot of features I could add. The source code and a live demo have been provided below. Enjoy!
