Remarks

ContentTransfomer is inherited from ISContentControl, which means it can contain a single object of any type (such as a string, an image, or a panel). For more information about this content model, see Content Model Overview.

At the core of ContentTransfomer is the Transform property which applies transformation effects such as ScaleTransform and RotateTransform to its content. The transformation of ContentTransfomer works differently compared to the standard RenderTransform provided in the built-in Silverlight elements.

The ContentTransfomer transforms its content with respect to the dimension and boundary of the main container, while Silverlight's RenderTransform applies the transformation using relative points. 

The following illustration compares the transformation results of ContentTransfomer and RenderTransform.

 

As shown in the above illustration, the ContentTransfomer applies the RotationTransform to the menu bar while properly aligning the menu bar to the boundary of the main container. This behavior is useful in a number of scenarios where you want to apply the transformation effects on a content that can be easily arranged and layouted.

The following example shows how to use ContentTransfomer to apply RotationTransform to its content.
