Deep Zoom Demo Updated for RTW

Today I updated the Deep Zoom demo I originally published a few months ago for the RTW release of Silverlight 2. The new version shows how to do mouseovers on the individual subimages in a Deep Zoom scene—something that wasn’t at all obvious to me how to do until I read Jaime Rodriguez’s excellent blog post explaining that the order of the subimages in the MultiScaleImage control’s SubImages collection mirrors the indexes in Metadata.xml. When the cursor enters a subimage in the revised demo, a caption identifying the location depicted in the image appears at the top of the page.

I’ll post the source code for the sample once I figure out how to decrease its compressed size of 373 MB. I suppose I’ll have to post the project without the images, but that somehow seems to defeat the purpose.

  • Hi Jeff,
    Thanks for all the Cool Silverlight Tricks!
    It would be really great to get the source code for your Deep Zoom Demo - preferrably with the images but even without the images.
    Thanks for sharing your hard work,
    David Roh

  • I'll figure out a way to post the code when I get home from the PDC. Maybe I can substitute some small images and get the size down to something reasonable. Or possibly removing all but 2 or 3 of the images would make things manageable.

  • Still working on downsizing it so it can be downloaded. I've been on the road constantly for the last several weeks but will get to the downsizing as soon as I can.
