If you have visited this blog before, you might have noticed a few posts on the Silverlight PivotViewer. The September issue of Visual Studio Magazine includes my first published article, which maybe fittingly is centered on PivotViewer. The article introduces the concept of semantic zoom with PivotViewer and how to […]
Continuing on with the Hacking PivotViewer series, in this post we will look at accessing and modifying the current pan position. As I mentioned in the first post, Hacking PivotViewer : Zoom, there is always more than one way to attack some of these problems. In doing the research for […]
