Slideshow 2 Preview
A preview of the upcoming Slideshow 2 that is based on the new Silverlight 2 runtime.
You want the source code of this preview? Please visit my codeplex project: http://www.codeplex.com/silverlightslideshow.
Slideshow 2 is a complete rewrite of the original version and contains a lot of new functionality. Among others:
- An extensible SlideProvider model based on LINQ to XML. Thanks to the cross-domain policy of Silverlight 2, there is no need for an ASP.NET proxy to retrieve slideshows from third party sites such as Flickr.
- An extensible visual UI effect model applied to slides. The border, shadow and title visible in the preview are all Effects that can be applied to any slide.
- Smart buffering of slide data.
- Slides can be manually arranged (try it!)
- Support for image, video and even custom XAML slides.
- Slideshow 2 relies heavily on the Silverlight layout system and includes new panels such as DockPanel, RandomPanel, CarouselPanel, and more.
- Tweening animations are used for nice slide transformation effects.
The images in the preview are taken from the Flickr Interestingness photoset. Slideshow 2 is far from finished, but the preview should give you a rough idea of what to expect in the final version.
