      Easy to setup Slides / content:
      The control can host any content, 2D as well as 3-D, motion pictures, images, and more.
    Setting up the slides is a breeze. The control exposes two simple Dependency property Slides and SlideContent.
    Each of these properties have its own uniqueness in regard to handling the SlideShow playing activity.
    You can choose to set the Slide objects either explicity as the control's content, or using WPF/Silverlight's Data-binding infrastructure.

    		 
      Extensive API to control the slide show:
      The control provides two (combinable) ways of running slide shows, namely:
    • Based on DispatcherTimer interval
      • , and
    • Deterministic calls to the control's APIs
    You can use any / both of these methods to run your slide shows.
    The various APIs exposed include:
    • Play()
    • Pause()
    • Resume()
    • Stop()
    • GoToFirstSlide()
    • GoToLastSlide()
    • Previous()
    • Next()
    • PlayThisSlide()
    When using the timer based slide show sessions, you can set up your own custom timer intervals for playing the slide show.

    		 
      Rich events:
      The control raises several events that you can subscribe to, in order to run your custom logic.
    These events are related to the Slide show run activities.

    The events raised include:
    • AboutToPlay
    • AboutToPause
    • AboutToResume
    • AboutToStop
    • AboutToGoToFirstSlide
    • AboutToGoToLastSlide
    • AboutToGoToPreviousSlide
    • AboutToGoToNextSlide
    • AboutToPlayThisSlide
    		  
      Out-of-the-box .NET controls for your custom slideshow application development:
      The control package comes with two powerful .NET Controls for helping you quickly build your slide show applications, namely:
    • A eye-candy Glass button control
    • A powerful control window re-sizer control


      • The built-in "glass button" control contains the look-and-feel of the glass button controls we see in Areo-enabled Microsoft Vista and Windows 7.
      Using the control is straight-forward: Instantiate it, simply set its size (Width and Height), and set any image on it as its content, to render Vista and Windows 7 style glass buttons in your own applications.
      You can also set any background color of your choise, for its background fill.

      The Control window re-sizer control acts like a decorator on your application's UI controls, and will instantly enable them to be dynamically re-sizable by your users, at run-time.
      Using this control is very straight forward. Simply host your UI controls as a child control of this BinaryControlResizer control.

      A screen shot of the BinaryGlassButton .NET controls "in action" is here:
    		 
     

    		 
     
    No procedural code needed to setup the control:

    In contrast to the very powerful features in the control, you will find it extremely easy to setup and run the control in your applications with absolutely no procedural code.
    Either using Designer tools like MS Expression Blend or the likes, or even with hand-cranked one line of XAML, you will be able to run the control in just few seconds.
