The Silverlight MobileMe Gallery is a recreation of the Apple MobileMe Gallery using 100% pure Silverlight.
- This project is no longer under active development. I did this as a learning excercise to learn Silverlight and try to recreate something useful and elegant. If you would like it to continue, please contact me or grab the code and fork away!
- Last Release: v0.1 Alpha 11/25/2009
- Check out the Apple MobileMeGallery sample (this is what we're trying to recreate): http://gallery.me.com/emily_parker
- Visit the working sample (using Silverlight) here: http://gallery.restazured.com/emily_parker
- Note: You can also try your own MobileMe username using format: http://gallery.restazured.com/[your username here]
The goal in one sentence is to create an exact replica, feature-for-feature match of the MobileMe Gallery using 100% Silverlight.
This project began as a way to experiment with and learn the new features in Silverlight 3. Check out the blog post that introduced the idea: Recreating the MobileMe Gallery in Silverlight 3
In addition to learning the features in Silverlight 3, I also wanted to experiment with using Expression Blend 3 as a compliment to Silverlight development. Therefore, all graphics (rss button, image slider, etc) and toolbar items were created/styled using Expression Blend 3.
- Play MPEG-4 (.m4v) files using Silverlight without the need for QuickTime
- Photo Album and Movie "Scrubbing" (if you view the sample above, you'll see what I mean when you mouse over an album or movie)
- Full featured photo album with all the features (and views) of the one built-in to MobileMe Gallery
- Utilize the photos/movies already stored on MobileMe Gallery (no separate upload or storage mechanism required)
- Support same URL structure as MobileMe: http://gallery.me.com/[**username]**
- Work with ANY MobileMe username: http://gallery.restazured.com/[**username]**
- 100% Silverlight implementation
