Silverlight DeepZoom + AndreaMosaic

Take a look at the Deepzoom page composed by Rob Burke using AndreaMosaic and Silverlight Deepzoom. This is such a great idea and to me this is going to be the major use of Silverlight Deepzoom technology. I am not sure that how many other software available out there which does photo mosaic.
So I just tried to do one by myself. Bellow are the steps I followed
1) Installed AndreaMosaic and just follow the steps to create a photo mosaic file. You have to play little bit around the tool to undertsand what exactly is happening.
2)Open the DeepZoom composer (Can be downloaded here) and arrange your photo mosaics in the order
3)Export the Deepzoom project to silverlight project
4)Publish that to Silverlight Streaming service

Original Photo

and the bellow deepzoom Silverlight(multiscale image) has around 1000 images in it. Check this out by drag and scroll your mouse. Or check out theStreaming version here

awesome. it comes down really slowly on my pc though. If you upload to Silverlight Streaming it scales quite nicely - but it's a war getting it uploaded. Check the link on the word "uploaded" in my blog post for the utility I used to get a DeepZoom onto Silverlight Streaming.

Time Picker User Control

The easiest way to create a WPF TimePicker control is to make a user control wrapped for TimeSpan CLR object. Here is a very simple sample which does that. Basically TimeControl is having 4 DPs one for the entire Value (Which is a TimeSpan) and individual Hours, Minutes and Seconds. (We can optionally add Days and Milliseconds also to make the control rich). Here is a C# class TimeControl.xaml.cs public partial class TimeControl : UserControl { public TimeControl() { InitializeComponent(); } public TimeSpan Value { get { return ( TimeSpan )GetValue(ValueProperty); } set { SetValue(ValueProperty, value ); } } public static readonly DependencyProperty ValueProperty = DependencyProperty .Register( "Value" , typeof ( TimeSpan ), typeof ( TimeControl ), new UIPropertyMetadata ( DateTime .Now.TimeOfDay, new PropertyChangedCallback (OnValueChanged))); ...

A simple Multiselect ComboBox using expression Blend

Image
I have often seen requirements to have a combobox with multiple selection enabled. We know thatWPF ListBox control is having two special properties, which enables the multiple selection but the combobox doesnt have those public IList SelectedItems { get; } public SelectionMode SelectionMode { get; set; } There are many ways we can make a multiselect combo box 1)Create a custom control from the scratch and have a Listbox in the dropdown 2)Extend the combobox and add the above properties to it 3)Edit the Combobox control template to add necessary controls and binding. I am going to describe the 3rd idea from the above list, which is a total Expression Blend work, so no need of VS2008 to make a multiselect combobox from a simple combobox. Place a combobox in to the editing area and right click on the control to create an copy of the Control template. Now you can see the Control's tree on the left side of Expression Blend The ItemPresenter inside the scrollviewer is actually the...

A Simple Radial Panel for WPF and SilverLight

Image
Geometry was one of the coolest topics in school for me. Probably because it uses a lot of figures to convey the concepts. Here I am trying to explain how we can leverage the Layout system in WPF and Silver light by taking an example of creating a Radial Panel. A RadialPanel lays out its children in a circular fasion. So before going in to the technical details, let us see how this problem get solved algorithmically.If you are asked to arrange a bunch of items in a circular path, what all things would you consider?. 1) How much space do I have? – Say X * Y rectangular area is the available size. 2) I will draw an approximate Circle (Or ellipse) inside the X*Y space. Assuming that the Radii are ‘Rx and Ry' 3) How many items are there to arrange? Say N – number 4) I know that 360 degrees are the total angular space for a circle. So angular distance between each item will be 360/N degrees. 6) I can calculate the coordinate point to which an item should be placed. That is by doing the ...
