Orly and I downloaded Slide.Show 2, opened the project with Visual Studio 2010, and all the samples worked great.
One of the options for selecting the photos to be displayed is to provide an XML file listing each photo together with a description. This works very well, but has the disadvantage that the XML file has to be prepared in advance, and it is not that simple to choose between files. Orly had previously written a Handler that creates an XML document containing all of the photos in a directory tree, and used that to replace the static XML file for the original Slide.Show, and we spliced this Handler into the samples and everything worked as expected. Enough with the sample application, now it is time to make a clean version that we can deploy.
