XAMLflix Video Tutorial: RadCoverFlow for Silverlight

Hello everyone and welcome back to XAMLflix with RadCoverFlow for Silverlight. I hope you have been enjoying the series as last week we took a look at RadCalculator and RadGauge. This week we will be taking a look at RadCoverFlow for Silverlight and WPF.

What is XAMLflix you might ask? Well, it is Telerik’s way of teaching you how to use both new and existing controls from Telerik’s XAML suite. Each and every Tuesday and Thursday, we will provide a fresh batch of videos and sample projects highlighting a different control. Since our Silverlight and WPF share a common codebase and API, you only have to learn how to use these controls once! You can simply copy and paste the code between frameworks.

Be sure to check out www.telerik.com/xamlflix for all the videos!

Meet RadCoverFlow

RadCoverFlow is a useful tool that can be used to navigate through a collection of items. These items can be any UI Element such as an image. It gives you flexibility to change camera position and reflection opacity and much much more.

• Getting Started with RadCoverFlow – In this video, we will see how easy it is to get started with RadCoverFlow. We will begin by adding images to RadCoverFlow and navigating through them. We will wrap up with adding additional items to RadCoverFlow such as a rectangle and custom user control. (Download the Project)
• Customize the Visual Experience of RadCoverFlow – In this video, we will learn how the visual experience of RadCoverFlow can be easily changed by several properties. From determining the Offset, Rotation, and even the ReflectionHeight, RadCoverFlow has you covered. (Download the Project)
• Integrating RadCoverFlow with the ListBox – In this video, we are going to show how easy it is to integrate RadCoverFlow with other controls. This demo covers integration with the ListBox control to bind to the SelectedIndex property.(Download the Project)
