Vertigo: Slide.Show
Some time ago I’ve found an nice Silverlight 1.0 application which is now part of Silverlight.net Showcase. It is an open source configurable slide show application. The configuration is made by using XML or inline javacript (using JSON - JavaScript Object Notation).
See the live demo in Vertigo’s website. I had some issues while trying it on Firefox. The problem was Silverlight 1.1 September Alpha Refresh. So, in Internet Explorer it runs well with the 1.1 version, but to run it on Firefox you must have the stable 1.0 version.
This project is also hosted in Codeplex.

Hi,
I need the Vertigo slide show to start up in the Album display mode and not in the slide show mode. Is is possible to achieve this behavior via configuration?

How can i dynamically assign picture folder, instead of using Data.xml file?
Here is one example, but i couldn’t get it to work.
Thanx Bruno!!!!

You can create an ASPX/PHP/(whatever server technology you use) file which prints out a list of files present in a particular folder.
In the DataProvider.js you can change the XMLDataProvider from
SlideShow.merge(this.options,
{
url: “Data.xml”
});
to
SlideShow.merge(this.options,
{
url: “myData.aspx”
});
Another option is using a webservice, I think that you can easily find some sample code about how to invoke a webservice using the Javascript XMLHttpRequest Object.
Thanx Bruno for suggestion. I like the idea with creating aspx page. Basically source of the page should look like data.xml ?
yes. that’s right
Bruno it didn’t work for me. I just copied xml from data.xml and pasted to .aspx page. This js code not working var document = request.responseXML;
var obj = this.parseXmlDocument(document);
request has xml, but doesn’t have request.resonseXML
