Show your Flickr pictures in a Silverlight book

Here is a control that everybody can easily use. This allow you to display Flickr pictures in a blog post or in any web page.

For example this set of pictures (http://www.flickr.com/photos/benjamingauthey/sets/72157604570177365/), taken by my friend Benjamin during Paris Remix 08 can be browsed just here in this post.

Now, how to get this on your own web page/blog ? There is just a few steps to follow and here is a video that explains how to do it :

Go to this page to configure your own control: http://blogs.msdn.com/mitsu/archive/2008/05/14/create-a-virtual-book-with-your-flickr-pictures.aspx

Full code source will be released very soon.

L'idée est simple, fournir une application Silverlight qui se connecte dynamiquement à un compte Flickr

This was working for me before, but is not any more.  I was using the book control to display flickr photos. Was there a change or something?

Yes, I was waiting for streaming.live.com to update to SL2. It's been updated recently. I will update my source code asap.

Can mediaelements playing video be placed in the book control and turned with the page surface while playing video?  I tried it and the video goes away and the sound keeps on playing.  Is there any other way to place live video on the pages?

Thanks

Tom
