FlickrViewr Updated for Beta2

Published on July 10, 2008 in work. 15 Comments Tags: , , , .

Just a note to say I’ve updated my FlickrViewr for Silverlight Beta2.  (All of the controls now use VisualStateManager, too!)

Enjoy!

(See the original post for more info & source code.)

    I think this is a gread example application, and I am glad you updated it. How do I get the source code.

    hmm, i’m presented with the painful “install silverlight” logo when i already have beta2 installed… you sure the example app is beta2?

    it is… though I uploaded it to the same location. Can you please try clearing your cache & let me know if that works?

    i think it’s because the object tag still marks it of type=”application/x-silverlight-2-b1″ :)

    I get the install logo too. I agree with jocelyn, app type is wrong.
    Anyway, thanks for your blog!

    Yes this is what I was saying, Where is the new code, the complete code that uses the latest version of silverlight. I guess I can just cut and past the project files into a new project, But I thought that was part of updating. Maybe updating should also change the test page.

    Sorry, I meant I updated the links in the original FlickrViewr post.

    Also, I’ve updated the test page (i had forgotten to rename it default.html, and so it was picking up the old version).

    Hi Karen, thanks for your SL2B2 FlikrViewer update.

    When I click on .sln it opens VS 2008, and then gives me the yellow triange with exclamation point message “The project file ‘C:\Users\Art\Documents\…FlikrViewer\FlickrViewr.csproj’ cannot be opened.
    The project type is not supported by this installation.”

    Think I have a good install of SL2B2…
    Hope to get your demo working soon.

    I just downloaded the project & re-built it… it worked fine for me. Anyone else having any issues?

    Thanks!

    Hi Karen –

    The three sample controls (ModalDialog, ContinuousProgress, and HorizontalWrapPanel) that you included are incredibly useful for people building their own SL apps. May I post demos of these controls to http://silverlightnuggets.com (a Silverlight code sharing site), along with a link back to your blog?

    BTW, I downloaded your latest FlickrViewr sample, and it would only work for me when I removed the MinimumVersion=”2.0.30523″ attribute from FlickrViewrTestPage.aspx. That could be a problem on my end, as that has happened to me with other apps as well. I’m just mentioning it in case it helps others. Also, after I got the FlickViewr app to run, it keeps telling me “that user does not exist” even when I type in your user name “scorbette37″ … not sure why. I’m not asking you to investigate, just letting you know.

    Thanks!

    @Rajeev – feel free to post with a link back! Also, when you try to run, have you gotten (and plugged in) a flickr API key?

    Karen Hi,
    I have few questions regarding to Silverlight beta2 (we use Silverlight beta2 with WCF in our application). Thank you in advanced for your answers:
    - Where did XMLDataSource disappear? We need it….
    - I am experiencing a very annoying bug when trying to make GUI changes for different states –Expression blend crushes! Are you familiar with this?
    - I am using a Dataset as my datasource using WCF to bring it to the client.
    The proxy converts the dataset to XElement but I get a compilation error: “The type or namespace name ’schema’ could not be found”. What reference do I need?

    Thanks again,
    Yaniv

    Karen –

    The controls have been posted to http://silverlightnuggets.com. Thanks!

    And you’re right, I had neglected to get myself a Flickr API key … that’s why it wasn’t working for me. I should read your instructions more carefully next time!
