I found myself needing a star rating control for a Silverlight application recently, and although I found a few open source ones, none of them worked quite how I wanted them to. Besides, I designed my own star shape in XAML a while ago and wanted to use that as the basis.
In particular I wanted the ability to have half-star ratings. I thought at first it would require me to use some kind of complicated clipping construct, with a rectangle hidden behind my star, but I realised I could cheat by creating a half-star shape. Each star is a UserControl made up of three shapes – a star fill, a half star on top and then an outline on top.
