WPF Image List viewer problem

hi,

Im having trouble figuring out on how to implement my Image List viewer with the following specs;

- The image viewer loads more than 1000 files but must take less memory. It is given that each files is atleast 1mb each.

Therefore loading 1000 image alone already takes 1GB of memory.

My current implementaion simply loads all images to a Listbox binded to a List of images, and this list box is inside a scrollviewer (vertical scroll). This implementation obvoiusly is using more memory since it loads all images.

My plan is to load image only if visible in the scrollviewer, if not visible then image is dereference or not loaded at all.

DO you have any idea on how to implement this type of requirement?
Thanks in advance,

If I were you, I'd look at using a virtualised ListBox then.

I read the following from one news:http://infoworld.com/print/79216

Silverlight 3 applications can run in or out of the browser, online or offline.

If so, WPF will be throwed away? It seems not, but if Silverlight 3 can be run in or out of the browser,
why WPF will be chosen?

thanks

Please don't do this. Pick one place to post and stick with it.

Both Silverlight inbrowser or out-of-browser Application run on the sandbox. So, you can't access a lot of things (e.g. system tray, registry, user file system except Isolated Storage. ) You can't re-use old .NET class library that you wrote long time ago.

But with WPF, you can do a lot of things.

Please read the differences between Silverlight and WPF here[^]

I've just discovered you can do this, which is cool:

slider.BeginAnimation(Slider.ValueProperty,
new DoubleAnimation(slider.Value, newValue, animationDuration, FillBehavior.Stop));

Just like Core Animation, I had no idea that was possible. The question is, when I do this, is there any way to make the animation more in a non linear way, so it starts slow and gets faster, or vice versa ?

Amusingly, I just found a class called AnimationTimeline. But, it doesn't seem to take To and From properties, and generally doesn't respond well to googling, so, still need help....

John - I've started to use Bling[^] to work with animations. You might find this useful. Alternatively, Blend allows you to specify easings by manipulating the keyframe spline.

I'd prefer Bruce....

And, the point is that I want to create this thing in code, not in XAML.

Bruce is good. Bling is the puppy for you then.

Yes/No Dialog Box for saving data in Silverlight...Urgent!!!

There is AccelerationRatio and DecelerationRation but they are not that customisable, the next version of WPF and Silverlight support built-in and custom easing functions.

Hi All, I want to show one dialog box when user closes the browser.

I have added the code in Application_Exit :

HtmlPage.Window.Confirm("Do u want to save your data?");

So that It shows me the OK/Cancel box, which is fine for me. But I want the event for YES so that if user says YES then I could save the data and if he says NO then I do not save the data.

Can anybody have any idea????

I'm pleased that you got the solution to your problem, but could you please refrain from using Urgent in posts. These are volunteer only forums, and people will get to your problem when they have time.
