In my app I need to display a collection of Images exactly like in the Windows Phone 8 Photo App where you can swipe right and left between the images.
Here is the customized FlipView control for WP8 like WINRT FlipView Control...
Step 1 : Add a new Usercontrol and name it as "FlipView.xaml"
Step 2 : Add following xaml in "FlipView.xaml"
Step 3 : Add the following code in the "FlipView.cs"
public partial class FlipView : UserControl
{
public FlipView()
{
InitializeComponent();
Datasource = new List
Step 4 : Now at the mainpage, add the namespace to use the flipview Usercontrol
Example:
xmlns:FlipViewControl="clr-namespace:ImageFlip" (Note: It differs according to your Solution name).
Step 5 : Using the namespace, add the flipview control as follow as..
Step 6 : Add the following code in mainpage.cs
// Constructor
public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
// Sample code to localize the ApplicationBar
//BuildLocalizedApplicationBar();
imgViewer.ItemsSource = new List { "/Images/1.jpg", "/Images/2.jpg", "/Images/3.jpg" };
}
