[Deepzoom 2] the setup of the silverlight2 and deep zoom Environments
Zhou yinhui

in this regard, "to do a good job, you must first sharpen the tool." building an environment is the most important step. I used to read many textbooks written by masters when I went to college. The first chapter was about Hello world, but I was so depressed when I set up the environment, so it is so difficult to display a hello World on the screen.
the software to be installed includes Visual Studio 2008, silverlight2 beta1 tools for vs2008, expression blend2.5, deep zoom composer
note: before installing silverlight2 beta1 tools for vs2008, make sure to uninstall the Silverlight plug-in, Silverlight SDK, and expression blend that you may have installed before. If you cannot install silverlight2 beta1 tools for vs2008, in vs2008, you cannot find the silverlight2 Project template, and you cannot create the sliverlight2 project.
as to how to use Silverlight and vs to create a hello World project, for more information, see Article in the Chinese version of Scott's blog: Use Silverlight 2 and vs 2008 to create a "hello World" Program
Use Blend are familiar, if you are not familiar with it, you can watch the video tutorial here
deep zoom composer is a small tool designed for deepzoom. I have translated its user guide, hope to help you:

Introduction

Microsoft's silverlig2< span style =" font-family: "> includes a pair of" seadargon " Deep zoom Technical Support created by the team. To put it simply, deep zoom technology allows you to view a large image, but only sends the part currently displayed on your screen to your browser. You can also smoothly scale and flat images. This is like online map dividing a large image into many small tiled images and then sending those you are viewing to your screen. The advantage of this is that you don't have to spend a lot of time downloading a large set of image data that you have never even read or noticed. This technology is cool, but to be honest, it is not easy to create correct coordinate information for these image sequences, the Expression team provided us with a tool, we call it " deep zoom composer "

Expression deep zone composerThis allows us to arrange images in an image set in any way (large images), and then publish their final arrangementSilverlight2One is calledMultiscaleimage. The output of this tool is a set of tiled graphs.XMLFile,BinFile and a collection of numbered folders. Each folder contains a part of the final picture arrangement. InMultiscaleimageReferenceBinFileXAMLIt looks like this:

<Multiscaleimage X: Name = "deepzoomobject" Source = "samle/info. bin"/>

Who will use such an application? Any pairSilverlight2Those who are interested and want to perform advanced operations such as zoom and tile on the big image. Without this technology, it would be very difficult to complete connections under standard bandwidth. The audience of this tool is some very common users. There are several very common scenarios that will be used. MAP is one of them, another possibility is that online advertising is used to provide a very easy-to-interact and detailed viewing angle for the product.
