This is my third article from the series about the MultiscaleImage control. In retrospect here is brief information about the previous articles if you missed them: the first one was about the MultiscaleImage control and the SubImages collection and the second about randomizing and rearranging the SubImages of the MultiscaleImage control. This article will focus on the Metadata file that is generated by the DeepZoom Composer and more specifically on the tag element in it that is present for each image in the collection.
Update: The demo, the source code and the code in the article are compatible with Silverlight 2 RTW. The only changes I made were to the object element in the host page.
With this article I continue the series for the MultiscaleImage. Yesterday I wrote about the MultiscaleImage control and the SubImages collection. Today I am going to explain how to randomize the SubImage collection by changing the order of the images in it and how to apply this change on the screen using animations. I will use the tarantula again, assuming that you have already get used to it. Don’t forget to check out the live demo and download the source code if you want to take a look at the whole application.

The MultiscaleImage is a really great control that allows us to do amazing things in Silverlight 2. That is why I decided to write a series of articles about the nice things that can be done using it. This is the first one and it is focused on the SubImages collection. It explains how to select an image from the collection and then fit it to the size of the control. If you're new to this control read my previous article about it - Using the MultiscaleImage control. Before going ahead you should also be familiar with the DeepZoom Composer and its latest changes. Note that in this article I've replaced the "Double-Click" zoom with “One-Click” zoom.
