Recursion is a very common technique for creating various type of graphics in Flash. Is the recursion technique also possible in Silverlight? Surely it can be. Let’s have a look on the sample below.
Comparison
Flash implementation: 30minutes
Silverlight implementation: 45minutes (Implemented First)
Source codes
Recursion Tree [Flash 9, AS3] (11.4 KiB, 1,700 hits)
Recursion Tree [Silverlight 2, C#] (18.9 KiB, 2,412 hits)

Hi, nice blog here, and nice samples… but in this one, it said you spend 450 hours, is that real or is it a typo?

450 minutes? or 45minutes?
If its 450 minutes than I’m confused as to what you did that took that long as looking at the code it looks more like 20-45mins worth of work.

What are you going to do when Silverlight 2.0 RTM comes out? Update all of your examples to work with the new release?
I do not envy that job.

Mike, that was a good question. Probably, I don’t have any plan to update my work yet.
Well, I just hope the new version will have the backward compatability. But from my past expereince, it seems impossible.
Anyway, it will great if they can remove the word “beta” in their release and let us have more confidence in using it.

You should be fine, but there maybe some breaking changes that you’ve made use of which will require a migration forward on.
It was important to note that the current Beta 2 version of Silverlight is just that, a beta (all conditions of use apply). Breaking changes inside beta’s will at times occur and we do apologise for this, that being said Silverlight 1 will work inside Silverlight 2.
Future releases will be backwards compatible.

[...] Terence Tsang used Recursion technique to generate a very nice looking tree. It really looks real! [...]
