Silverlight provides a variety of brushes that can be used to paint just about any area in your app: from text to shapes to borders. The most common brushes are for painting color and images: SolidColorBrush, LinearGradientBrush, RadialGradiantBrush, and ImageBrush.
However, today I paired the less common VideoBrush with an unusual visual element. Click below to see a demonstration of a fun and novel use of the VideoBrush in Silverlight:
Video Jigsaw Puzzle
Note: PuzzleTouch also now allows you to create your own video puzzles using .wmv or .mp4 files. All work is done 100% on the client! To create your own video puzzle, go to the Online Jigsaw Puzzles by PuzzleTouch homepage, choose “Custom Puzzle”, and have fun!
Just FYI, the link is broken. There is an extra ‘\’ after ‘.com ‘. Should be:
