WPF solution design of slideshow application

Question

Hi all, Been thinking about this for hours now. Im building a simple slideshow application, where the user creates slides through a web application and publishes them to a wpf "player". The user is allowed to create two types of slides one based on html and one based on xaml (thought this would be easy).

When i get the slide to the player i have to determine how to render/load the slide. The HTML slide i convert to xaml (code i found on msdn) as a flowdocument (but now what to do with it?). The Xaml i just get in "raw" xaml.

My plan is to convert both of these to xaml, then have the slide load the xaml in someway and display it, but how? And would this setup be the proper architecture? please bear in mind that this is a small player application.

Any help on either architecture or on how to display these are highly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Brian

Answer 1

Why not just display them in the web page? There are a huge number of slideshow applications for the web already.

Answer 2

Look at the Slide.Show project from Vertigo. It a WPF project released under codeplex. It may give you ideas on the design.
