Rotate canvas should not rotate it's children

Is there any way to rotate only the canvas without rotating it's children like image, geometry etc in it? Any help anyone could produce would highly be appreciated.

Many thanks Ratheesh

No, there's no way of doing this unless you apply the opposite transformation to each child. Perhaps if you explain what you're trying to achieve, there is likely an easier way to do so.

I think only way is to rotate Canvas and rotate it's children in another direction.

Kent Boogarts suggestion is what i thought of initially too, it's not even that hard to implement since one can directly bind to the Inverse transform of the Canvas:

<ItemsControl>
    <ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
            <Canvas>
                <Canvas.RenderTransform>
                    <RotateTransform />
                </Canvas.RenderTransform>
            </Canvas>
        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
    </ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
    <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <ContentControl Content="{Binding}"
                            RenderTransform="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=Canvas},
                                                      Path=RenderTransform.Inverse}"/>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
</ItemsControl>
