    There's just not a compelling reason for me to want to shift photos around like that? It's fun to play with for 10 seconds, but in terms of compelling, practical and timesaving user interaction design, it's poor.

    rbirkby, Thanks for stopping by! In the Surface site's demo videos, they show how email, photo sharing, and collaboration might be integrated with the basic "photo table" UI I've demonstrated here. Just like Media Center optimizes for the "10 foot" viewing experience users have sitting on their couch watching TV, the Surface team optimizes for the finger-based input experience users have sitting around their device. The videos I've seen suggest this interface is pretty natural for the Surface scenario, but I'm sure they're experimenting with other ideas as well. :)

    Fantastic demo. would love to see one of those tiles running video as well like in the Surface demo ;) On a TabletPC this would be lots of fun.... wonder if there's a tweak to track two contact points on the tablet so you can do the multi-touch rotate and resize?

    I can think of lots of useful ways to bake this general idea into a larger application.  If run a photography site and want people to be able to lightbox the images they're interested in and then organize them, something like this gives them that ability in a very intuitive way.  You could also use something like this in a One-Note style application to organize your to-do list. It's a good demo.

    This is great. A minor tweak that will make it better is to add some physical properties to rag (basically adding inertia and drag) for better interaction.

    This is pretty sweet!  Thanks for posting the source code!  The thing I find interesting about this demo is that you were able to create a similar (if not the same) experience in this Silverlight app as the one from the photo viewer in Surface. One cool thing you could do is to add a camtasia video showing how you can create the application using Orcas beta1.  This way it can provide guidance to other devs on where to start with the code.

    v-willch, I'm not sure where the problem is, but here are a few things to check:

  • Is IIS configured to allow serving the XAML file?

  • How about the .DLL file in ClientBin?

  • Is the directory structure the same for both sources?

  • Have you watched the network traffic with a network monitor to see if any requests are failing?

  • Might your browser's security settings be interfering? The fact that it works from your local machine is good and suggests that the bits are valid and your Silverlight's configured correctly. Now it's just a matter of finding out what's bothering IIS. Good luck! :)

    Hi, I'm very new to Silverlight. I've installed Visual Studio 2008 Beta 2, Silverlight.1.1alpha and VS_SilverlightTools_Alpha_Setup. I could load the SilverlightSurface project but while building it gave an error "No overload for method 'Open' takes '2' arguments". After providing the third parameter 'Async' as "true", I was able to build the project. But when I run it, I don't get to see any of the images in the browser. Not sure if the project works with VS2008 Beta 2. I would greatly appreciate guidance on this. Thanks, Imran

    Imran, It sounds like you've got a version-mismatch. I recently updated my samples to work with the 1.1 Refresh (http://blogs.msdn.com/delay/archive/2007/07/27/a-new-silverlight-version-has-been-released-samples-updated-for-the-1-1-refresh.aspx). One of the changes in the refresh was to go from a version of Downloader.Open that takes 3 parameters to one that takes only 2 (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb693297.aspx#downloads_asynchronous).  So sounds like you've got the latest code for the Surface demo (2 parameters), but that the version of Silverlight you have installed is not up to date (3 parameters). You should be able to fix that by uninstalling Silverlight and re-installing it from http://silverlight.net/ which will get you the latest bits. Regarding the images not loading, please refer to this blog post for a note on how I didn't include the images with the source code download (along with directions for getting them) and also my post about updating solutions for the 1.1 Refresh (the same one I linked to above) regarding a way to work around a new Downloader security limitation when using file:// URLs. Once you take care of those issues, you should be set!

    This was such a nice example, I thought it would be nice to update to silverlight 1.1 and add a feed from flickr. http://www.obrienjd.com/silverlight/2/default.aspx will get the 'friendliness' photos from flickr. If you add email=<myemail@yahoo.com> to the query string it will get your flickr photos.
