Hi
We can create the very nice rotating text or image functionality with the help of animation in silverlight.

Storyboard is used to manage the timeline of animation.Storyboard can be used to group multiple animation.It has the ability to control the playback of animation.

The complete syntax for Marquee in silverlight is

<Canvas>
<Canvas.Triggers>
<EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Canvas.Loaded" >
<BeginStoryboard>
<Storyboard x:Name="animation" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Canvas.Left)" RepeatBehavior="Forever" >

<DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="txtBlock1" From="0" To="520" Duration="0:0:10" />

</Storyboard>
</BeginStoryboard>
</EventTrigger>
</Canvas.Triggers>

<TextBlock x:Name="txtBlock1" FontFamily="Verdana" FontSize="36" Foreground="Blue" Text="This is the sample text" />

</Canvas>
