gallery image display

Question

Hi

I want to create a user control to loop through a number of images.

I am going to hit the DB and find a list of paths to my images, retrieve the images then in the UC loop through fading the images in and out continuously.

My question, what approach and controls?:

A List<Image> in code storing my retrieved images

A timer in code to handle the gap bewteen displaying

What control would you use to display?

I'd prefer to use a storyboard to handle the display and just add all images to a stackpanel, for instance, then have storyboard handle the opacity/visibility etc... Think I'm making more complicasted than should be?????

Answer 1

Hi,

Yes you can use a StackPanel and in that use the Image control.Also use StoryBoard animations to display image one after the other with the help of a Timer in code to handle the time gap. You can use MVVM pattern in this scenario.

Thanks,

Sreeeee
