The beauty of an application depends on its User Interface. Some dynamic things in the UI increases the efficiency and likeness of an application. The most important thing in applications is usually "text" that describes the app and makes the user able to read the content. For this purpose, today we will do some cool operations in XAML .

Rotation

In XAML, 3D rotation of text can be done very easily.

Add three silders and TextBox in XAML.
