    Your zip file appears to be broken.

    Justin Chase, If you click the download link for the sample in a browser, it takes you to a page with the following text: AnimateOrientationChanges.zip has been superseded by DynamicOrientationChanges.zip. The download should begin shortly... That page includes a link with a redirect to the following download - and performs the redirect after about 5 seconds: cesso.org/.../DynamicOrientationChanges.zip I've just re-verified that the resulting DynamicOrientationChanges.zip file downloads and unzips successfully. Hope this helps!

    Pero, Great feedback, thank you very much! I have an idea why this might be the case (and an idea to fix it), but it'll probably be a couple of days before I have time to look into this. Thanks very much for your patience - I'll update this thread or post a new version of the code once I've sorted this out. :)

    Pero, I looked into the SIP problem you reported just now and it appears that my idea for fixing it works. :) I'll blog a sample update with this fix and another soon, but if you'd like to contact me via the "Email Blog Author" link on the sidebar, I'd be happy to send you the changes now so you can try this out in advance! Thanks again for letting me know about this problem!

    I'm using your AnimateOrientationChangesFrame.cs in a project and everything went fine until I started using SilverlightToolkit's AutoCompleteBox. An ArgumentException was thrown on _clientArea.Arrange inside ArrangeOverride, because HandleSizeChanged is not yed called so it ends building a zero sized Rect. It turns out just adding _handledSizeChanged to the condition does the trick. :-) Thanks for sharing this code anyway!

    Tony Cabello, Thanks for the information! I'll look into this sometime soon-ish and see about making a change like this for the next release.
