nFlow: Virtualized 3D Flow Panel, Silverlight Demo

Posted by Rishi on 05-Aug-09 10:24 AM - Comments (4)

One of the things I wanted to do for a long time was create a pluggable "flow panel" - kinda like for housing cover flow and like layouts. Well, over the weekend I created one, with full virtualization and pluggable logic to add various type of flow effects. Below, are some screenshots of the panel in action:

This demo showcases the flow panel using Bing.com's homepage backgrounds. The demo currently is limited to a single flow effect, which is based on my earlier effort - however, because it is virtualized it uses a quarter of the memory whilst featuring much more complex UI and effects. Going forward, I'll put the project on Codeplex, under the title nFlow - it will also house various flow effects in addition to the panel itself.

Have a look at the Bing Gallery, here (requires Silverlight 3). 

Update: FYI, this demo app keeps upto date with all the daily homepage images from Bing.com, and the listing goes back till mid July 2009.

I searched CodePlex for the "nFlow" project but I couldn't find it. Do you have sample code to share ?
I am intereste in a virtualized CoverFlow sample.
Thank you !

@John, sorry the code is not available on Codeplex or elsewhere. Also, I'm productizing the engine so it will be soon available under a commercial license.
