Standalone Silverlight PhotoViewer on Codeplex
Aug 16th
I have released the source for the stand-alone project onto codeplex.
I have also published a working demo so that you can see it as well. Something that has been missing for a while since I started this little bit of fun.
Of course being on codeplex anyone can create work items and bug reports and even make their own updates and send it as a patch, so any designers who can do a better job of the xaml than me feel free to do so, it won’t be hard.
Here’s the codeplex project
Here is the Demo.
Here is the Sharepoint version
Technorati tags: Silverlight, PhotoViewerFixes to Sharepoint Silverlight webpart
Aug 13th
The last source code release I did for the web part was buggy.
Sorry part of the joy of web part dev and cached items and everything else that goes with it.
Also I took the time to migrate the code to codeplex the initial release has the bug fixes and enhancements to select different image library lists from the site, this was the reason it was based on the template part so that many of the parts will work together. The picture show 3 parts using different lists.
All source code and a place to suggest things can now be found here.
and btw codeplex rocks.

Well after a long time waiting for insurance companies to cough up an sinsible amount, which they didnt. Trying to find a sensibly priced private sale and trying even harder to find a seller with half a brain. The last one I turned up at his house to see a lovely car, but he had packed his other car and was moving up north that very night, so I had to have cash there and then, no time for a HPI check or anything like that. I don’t think so.
I gave up and went to a dealer. We now have a nice 04 fiesta zetec. Yeh yeh I know some of you might be saying nice and ford don’t go together, but cheap repairs and lower chance of insurance write off do go together. Beside I like them, the wife loves it.
I even felt like I got a deal, not very often I feel like that at a main dealers, normally I count my fingers on the way out, but since they sold nothing for two months due to the weather they are falling over themselves to clear everything, my neighbour got 3k off the list price of a More >
Sharepoint / Silverlight Parts RC1 Update
Aug 6th
As the RC1 has been released I had five minutes spare to ensure they worked in RC1.
Here are the links
PhotoViewer. : The stand alone version of the WebPart project I do the testing and enhancements on first, its easier to see when I have messed it up here.
**Update** Moved to codeplex.
Currently in a laughable state of development, try it you will see.
Silverlight Photo Viewer WebPart : The Sharepoint Portal version of Photo Viewer. Coded as an Installable WebPart. This means that if installed on a portal level then any user on any portal are can jsut drop this on and it displays from the default Image Library list. This needs some work to make it work “MySite” cos it explodes at the moment, also I need to try it on Sub Sites of MySite and WSS Sites. This should work on Sharepoint 2003 and MOSS 2007 as all 2003 webparts should (mostly).
Silverlight WebPart Template : A Really Simple Webpart project that implements a button that says click me. It has mouseover anims and fullscreen and thats it. What’s special about this is that the webpart is coded to allow multiple instances of this part on the same page. The photo viewer More >
