I am chasing something similiar to this solution
http://www.darickcarpenter.com/samples/coverflow/
I have seen the data info demo that is posted but that would mean increasing the number of clicks required to see the info. Can someone guide me as to whether this can be achieved and an example if possible.
Thanks

Hello Shai,
I would recommend creating a class, that contains properties for the Image Url and the info you need to display below. Create a collection (data base driven, I guess) that contain instances of that class and data-bind RadCoverFlow, as we show in our demos:
http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#CoverFlow/DataBinding
Below the CoverFlow you could add several TextBlocks (or other controls, depending on your preferences) and bind them to the SelectedItem property of RadCoverFlow.

Thanks for your reply Valeri. So basically to break it down
1. Create observable collection 1 and add image url to the collection
2. Create observable collection 2 and add image description to the collection
3. Assign coverflow source as 1 and 2 above ( Not sure how this is achieved ??)
4. On change of the slider/scroll bar or On Change of the Coverflow , populate the the text block with the image description (Is there an on change event ? How will I extract the description from the coverflow selcted item ?)
My apologies if the questions sound dumb but I am not very familiar with the product or silver light
Thanks
