PivotViewer Basics : Semantic Zoom
Continuing with the series on PivotViewer, the next new feature to look at is the concept of semantic zoom. “So what is semantic zoom” you ask? Semantic zoom is showing different visual information at different zoom levels. In the case of PivotViewer, the trading card image will change based on how large the trading card […]
PivotViewer Basics : Client-side Collections
With the release of Silverlight 5 just around the corner, I thought I would start a series on the new PivotViewer and how to get up and running with it. We will start the series off by exploring how to create a client side collection. One of the most anticipated features of the new PivotViewer […]
SL5 PivotViewer Custom DetailPaneStyle
One of the added API features of the new Silverlight 5 PivotViewer is the ability to define a custom detail pane. It is rather simple to replace the style with your own, however, then you are left with the task of implementing several features that you most likely want to keep (like when to show […]
Houston Tech Fest 2011–Slides
Houston Tech Fest was another great time this year. The event continues to grow every year and there was right about 1000 folks there this year.

Extending your CXML Trading Cards in Silverlight 5
In my last post To CXML or not to CXML I mentioned that I found a nifty little user control being used in the single ItemTemplate being returned from the CxmlCollectionSource.ItemTemplates, the PivotViewerMultiScaleSubImageHost (yep, that’s a mouth full).

You can also take a look at the new release here : http://pivotviewer.championds.com […]
PivotViewer vNext Preview
As you might have guessed, I am pretty excited about the next version of the PivotViewer. We received the first glimpse of it during the keynote of the Silverlight Firestarter last December (http://www.silverlight.net/news/events/firestarter/). During MIX last week, Nick Kramer gave a talk on “Advanced Features in Silverlight 5” where we saw the new PivotViewer in […]
MIX 10 Pivot Collection
This past weekend I gave a talk at Houston Tech Fest 2010 about the Silverlight PivotViewer. For a couple of demos in my talk, I used a collection generated for the MIX 10 video sessions that are online. I decided to move that collection to our labs server and thought I would talk about it […]
Houston Tech Fest Presentations
