Tiles for WPF and Silverlight includes the following key features:

• Create Flipping and Sliding Tiles

  With the C1FlipTile (Silverlight only) and C1SlideTile controls you can create tiles that display alternating content with a sliding or flipping animation (Silverlight only). Simply design your template and provide content to the control. The updates and animations are handled automatically.

• Familiar Windows 8 Live Tile Behavior

  The Tile controls for WPF and Silverlight have been inspired from the Modern-UI style commonly seen in Windows Store and Windows Phone apps. Each tile control exhibits the same interactive behavior as the start screen live tiles on Windows 8 and Windows Phone. This means your app will present familiar behavior to the user and you don’t have to lift a finger (except to select a tile).

• Live Updates

  C1Tiles can flip, slide, and show updated "live" content. You can easily control the update interval using the static C1TileService class and the UpdateInterval property. See Updating the Tile Content for details.

• Host in Any Container

  C1Tiles can be hosted in any ItemsControl containers such as C1TileListBox or the standard WrapPanel and ListBox controls. Thus you can use C1Tiles in data bound scenarios. Each container presents a different way to arrange multiple C1Tiles together giving you endless combinations and possibilities.

• Support for Different Sizes

  Not all tiles must be created equally. Combine tiles of different types and sizes together to create displays uniquely catered to your application.
