The story of one progress bar

Probably, any programmer who develops a user interface in C # / XAML had to write non-standard controls.

It all started with the fact that once we needed to write a very peculiar progress bar.

One of my friends, an asocial type, a female and C ++ hater, was fond of developing games for iOS. Already 7 years engaged in this intoxicating case. Once a year, he sends me income reports, and lets me share them with a respected community.
