New BlogEngine.NET Extension - SlideShow Photo Gallery

Mon, 11 Feb 2008 21:01:02 GMT

I've wanted to build a BlogEngine.NET extension to display a photo gallery since I first starting using this product. Vertigo has made my job easier with Slide.Show, a rich Silverlight application that provides an elegant and simple photo sharing user experience. It also supports direct Flickr integration that I have included as a part of this extension. All you have to do is change one configuration value in the configuration.xml and you are all set to hook into your Flickr account. A live demo can be found at http://dannydouglass.com/page/photogallery.aspx. My website offers a popup version of this gallery (click the "photos" tab above) that I would be glad to explain in a follow-up post if there is any interest. [Requires Silverlight 1.0]
