Want it all?
...then download the SlideShowSource-1.2.zip file for complete source code, samples, and documentation.

Please note that although this release is 100% compatible with Silverlight 2, Slide.Show was originally written in javascript for Silverlight 1.0 and does not provide a XAP file for deployment. Stay tuned, however, for the forthcoming release of Slide.Show 2 for Silverlight 2 written entirely in managed code and with many cool new features!
