Jerry was asking me how to change the size of the DeepZoom “slide” I used in my MIX session. The DeepZoom is currently displaying at 1024 x 768px and we want to make that bigger. My Silverlight 1 knowledge didn’t help answer the question so I went to Kirupa and this is my conversation with him. Notice that I still don’t have a specific answer but Kirupa pointed me to the right direction which I’ll explore. I wanted to share this with you anyway in case you want to start trying out.

You are right – you probably do need the XAML files for that. I don’t think I have those on my machine anymore unfortunately� The nice thing is that you can do this yourself by downloading the source files here:

and making the modifications yourself! Simply delete the vista wallpapers with your images and change the reference in the XAML file to point to your images. You can open the XAML file and make the size bigger as you see fit. Let me know if you are still running into issues.

Cheers!
Kirupa

Hi Kirupa! The HTML file simply says scale to 100% so I assume it is already scaling the whole Silverlight Control… I was then trying to change some kind of XAML to make it bigger but I can’t find any XAML file to change J  it’s all in a “compiled” xap file.. or seems like…:)
Do I need the source for that one?… would I by any chance have to regenerate all the images in DZ Composer?

Both the XAML file and (I think) the HTML file�

Hi Kirupa

The DeepZoom with my presentation is 1024 x 768.  What do I need to change to make this bigger?… the XAML file?  The HTML file?…

Thanks!
