Even though I am new to Microsoft Silverlight development, I am mighty impressed with it. In this post, I will show you how easily you can create a Binary Clock that looks somewhat like this… If you don’t know how to read a binary clock, check this, or this out.

Watch a live demo

There are quite a few things that you can learn with this small project. More notably…

    How to add controls dynamically
    How to access those controls using code
    How to animate the dots individually so that they appear to fade out/fade in
    How to use Timer Silverlight in code
    How to use Gradient Brushes in code

The code is categorized, and you should be able to follow it simply by reading the comments. In case you have any doubts about the code, or if you have any feedback, please let me know.
