I'd like to implement a spinner control (something along these lines) in Silverlight 4 to display during pending operations. There are several examples on the web for Silverlight 3 but I'm either unable to compile them into my project or they just flat out display nothing. In addition I'm unable to find any examples specific to Silverlight 4.
Can someone please post a sample for Silverlight 4 or a link to one?
You can use the BusyIndicator.

I found a good example of a spinner control here. It's very simple and may not be ideal but it works perfect for my purposes. It's a XAML-only solution so it is very easy to port.
If you decide to use it, then I'd like to echo one of the commenters' suggestions that you change the <Grid> to a <Viewbox> so that the spinner will scale automatically.
I've put together a pure xaml spinner out of another example I've found ( see source ). It works on silverlight 4 and moonlight 4 too.
Pure XAML Spinner
Slightly nicer visual than the "rotate some rectangles" approach.

I'm rather new to Avalonia UI / XAML / .NET MVVM in general. While I really like Avalonia so far, it's still in beta and lacks extensive documentation. Hence I sometimes struggle to get specific things working or finding out how I should use them correctly.
Could somebody point me to an example using the Carousel control? Which properties should I set in the xaml, what kind of item list should be behind it etc?
Cheers.
You can find usage example in ControlCatalog project from the main repository:

I have a Silverlight 5 application, it is an image viewing system photographers use to show their images to their customers. My photographers want to be able to change the styling of the application. At a minimum they want both a light and dark option, in the end, they want a lot more customization then that.
I have used styles within the application (yes, there is a lot of clean up that needs to be done) but once I have one xaml file with all the colors, how do I set it up so that the customer can pick between to different looks, the light and the dark?
Does anyone know of any examples out there on how to do this?
Chris, you hit the nail on the head with that link! I didn't know there was such a thing as DynamicResource, which lead me to what I am seeking:

I would like to animate a UI control (an Image actually) over a Path provided.
It is looking that it is not possible to do it in Windows 8 using XAML although it was possible with .NET 4.5 as far as I could see from the below reference.

My question is whether there is a work around that I can use to achieve my goal or get closer to it.
WinRT is very similar to Silverlight, so many Silverlight solutions can work in WinRT with minimal or no changes. This sample on CodeProject should give you DoubleAnimationUsingPath with little work.

In a Ruby-on-Rails website, I want to create the following dialog, where a user is shown a list of colors and must choose 3 favorites and 3 least liked colors.
It works by dragging an item from the left and dropping it on the right.
What is the easiest and most maintainable library/method to implement this?
Notes: I am in the process of choosing a JavaScript framework for this website, so any proposition is fine. If that matters, the real thing is actually: among 15 work situations, choosing 5 that the user feels as most stressful, and 5 least stressful.
jQuery UI.
It has draggable and droppable. It is super easy to use, highly configurable and is the new standard javascript library in Rails 3.1.
I Would like to create my menu groups in my desktop application as the one shown in sample image. I would like to know which control is used for it? What extra works we need to do on it?
A reference to similar one is also welcome...
Thanks
