...with RIAnimation

I have just published the early Alpha Release of RIAnimation. The build includes a very simple sample website and the source for the custom RIAnimator ASP.NET control. The RIAnimator control provides a ridiculously simple way of adding Rich Interactive Animation to your ASP.NET projects. It exposes a few properties which compile a nice clean JavaScript block for you. The RIAnimator contol builds the animation using the RIAnimation.RIAnimationScripts Class. These scripts include default settings and make it easy to create custom animations that go far beyond your needs.

The goal of RIAnimation was to create a Rich Interactive Animation Library for building robust animations, but at the same time provide a simplified control to expose only the necessary properties. We built RIAnimation on top of JQuery and Interface. JQuery is a comprehensive JavaScript library that has a very useful seletor class and exposes events quite nicely. Interface is an effects extension for JQuery. It has some really nice prebuilt animations that are easy to implement.

RIAnimation is fully compatible with ASP.NET AJAX and is insanely easy to use. You can add animation to your ASP.NET projects without writing a single line of code! 

Please cheack back soon for a production-ready build with loads of improvements!

Great to see somebody else in the .NET world using jQuery. Looking forward to implementing these controls, even though we use jQuery already. Nothing like having a server control to drop in instead of writing/debugging JS code... Smile

Shris:

I recently started working with ASP.NET and Ajax. I really love your RIAnimation control. Keep up the good work.

There is a bug with the unload event. I will upload the fix tonight. Glad everyone likes it so far! I am also adding a MassRIAnimator control to do attach animations to wide ranges of elements

I'm assuming you guys haven't tried this with VS2008/.NET 3.5 yet? It's giving me errors due to being unable to find System.Web.Extensions version 1.0.10625 which is the old version of the DLL for 2.0.

Can you recompile for 3.5?

It is going to be another day on the 3.5 build. I am having some issues with compiling it right now and I am way to tired to keep going. I will get the 3.5 up ASAP

I've been looking at RIAnimation and I like it very much. Looks great.

Maybe it's possible to add a BackgroundCssClass property, like the AJAX Control Toolkit. It would be a great axtra feature I think.

I'm looking forward to new versions.

PS
I've been looking at the control in VS2008 and had no problems after converting the website to .Net 3.5 as VS modifies the web.config to redirect the requests for System.Web.Extensions version 1.0.10625 to the version used by VS2008.

Love it and it looks good in IE, but what about Firefox?

No worries at all Chris. I'm going to download the source and see if I can get it to recompile in 3.5 myself. If so, I'll email you a copy.

I have no problems in FireFox, but would love to know if you have any! Let me know

I have a nice Live Demo I am working on that I tried to put up last night, but I am waiting on my hosting provider to setup IIS correctly Smile

Hey guys, I added the live demo here: http://labs.hushhushmedia.com/rianimation/demo/

It is incomplete, but you can at least play around with it. I will be revamping it this week.

Demo looks great. Couldn't get it to recompile for 3.5 today. If you get the chance, that'd be superb!

Hey guys, I added a nice little Shopping Cart Demo. I will add some more to it later this week and hopefully have this in 3.5 by the weekend!
