A new Coding4Fun.Phone.Toolkit v1.4.6 official release was announced recently. In this post I will cover all fixes and changes that were made since the previous Coding4Fun v1.4.5 until the new Coding4Fun.Phone.Toolkit v1.4.6 release.

NOTE: Coding4Fun quickly became one of the most popular free projects that offer additional components for Windows Phone  application development.  The current version 1.4.6 is available for Windows Phone 7.1 and Windows Phone 7.0(this will be the last WP 7.0 release) as well.

Here is what is included in the download package:

Pretty cool new components were added: Tile Control, Tile Notification, FrameworkElementBinding.ClipToBounds as well as lots of fixes. Expect our next "Coding4Fun Toolkit in depth" articles soon.

Here is a simple example:

<c4fToolkit:Tile 
    HorizontalAlignment="Left"
    Margin="0, 12"
    Width="358"
    Height="173"
    c4fToolkitBinding:FrameworkElementBinding.ClipToBounds="True"
    Title="Coding4Fun Phone Toolkit">
    <Grid>
        <Canvas>
            <Image 
                x:Name="image" 
                Source="/Coding4Fun.Phone.TestApplication;component/Media/trex_360width.jpg" 
                Stretch="None">
                <Image.RenderTransform>
                    <CompositeTransform />
                </Image.RenderTransform>
            </Image>
        </Canvas>
        <c4fToolkit:TileNotification
            Padding="18, 0"
            Background="{StaticResource PhoneAccentBrush}">
            <TextBlock>rawr?</TextBlock>
            <!-- in 7.1, you can skip the need for TextBlock -->
        </c4fToolkit:TileNotification>
    </Grid>
</c4fToolkit:Tile>

</Foo>
