Creating Photo Gallery with Silverlight in Windows Phone 7.5 [closed]

Answer 1

It will work with a listbox, but you have to edit its ItemsPanelTemplate and use something like the WrapPanel control (horizontal orientation) from the toolkit. Then, you can define the ItemTemplate as a square image. That way every new item will stack at the right from the other until there's no more room and it will continue on the next row. So for a set number of columns, you have to specify the width in the item template (173 in my example so in the portrait mode, i end with 2 columns).

Here's a example from one of my projects (you should adjust bindings and names to your scenario):

<ListBox x:Name="lbxCategorias" ItemsSource="{Binding ChannelButtons}"  
                         SelectionChanged="lbxCategorias_SelectionChanged">
                <ListBox.ItemsPanel>
                    <ItemsPanelTemplate>
                        <toolkit:WrapPanel Orientation="Horizontal" />
                    </ItemsPanelTemplate>
                </ListBox.ItemsPanel>
                <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>
                        <Image Source="{Binding BigButtonIconPath}" Width="173" Height="173" Margin="0 0 12 10" />
                    </DataTemplate>
                </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
            </ListBox>

Answer 2

Photo gallery is simply a listbox where every row is an horizontal stackpanel with images, add a little binding and you are ok ;)

Answer 3

The Windows Phone SDK contains a Panorama/Pivot Control that mimics the functionality you see in the people or photos hub.

Here's a link to a code sample using this control: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431744(v=vs.92).aspx

Scroll down to the Controls section of the samples page and the first item there is the Panorama Sample.

I'd also recommend taking a look at the section titled Cameras and Photos.

You can build a exact photo viewer like in wp7 using the horizontal looping selector with some modifications. Try to add the images in the item i think it helps you
