This section explains how to create a preview of slides using SfCarousel control.

Adding SfCarousel control

Create a Universal Windows Platform project in Visual Studio and refer to the following assemblies.

  • Syncfusion. SfCarousel.UWP

  • Syncfusion.SfShared.UWP

1.Include the namespace for Syncfusion.SfCarousel.UWP assembly in MainPage.xaml

<Page xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

xmlns:layout="using:Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.Controls.Layout">

2.Now add the SfCarousel control with a required optimal name using the included namespace

<layout:SfCarousel x:Name="carousel">
SfCarousel carousel = new SfCarousel();
Dim carousel As New SfCarousel()

Adding SfCarouselItems to the control

Here SfCarouselItems are added as the children of the SfCarousel.

<layout:SfCarousel x:Name="carousel">

<layout:SfCarouselItem/>

<layout:SfCarouselItem/>

<layout:SfCarouselItem/>

<layout:SfCarouselItem/>

</layout:SfCarousel>
SfCarousel carousel = new SfCarousel();

carousel.Items.Add(new SfCarouselItem());

carousel.Items.Add(new SfCarouselItem());

carousel.Items.Add(new SfCarouselItem());

carousel.Items.Add(new SfCarouselItem());

carousel.Items.Add(new SfCarouselItem());
Dim carousel As New SfCarousel()

carousel.Items.Add(New SfCarouselItem())

carousel.Items.Add(New SfCarouselItem())

carousel.Items.Add(New SfCarouselItem())

carousel.Items.Add(New SfCarouselItem())

carousel.Items.Add(New SfCarouselItem())

Setting content for CarouselItems

Content property helps to set the content for SfCarouselItem. SfCarouselItem is a ContentControl so that any object can be added as its content. Here images are set as the content of carousel items.

<layout:SfCarousel x:Name="carousel">

<layout:SfCarouselItem >

<Image Source="Assets/1.jpg" Stretch="Uniform"/>

</layout:SfCarouselItem>

<layout:SfCarouselItem >

<Image Source="Assets/2.jpg" Stretch="Uniform"/>

</layout:SfCarouselItem>

<layout:SfCarouselItem >

<Image Source="Assets/3.jpg" Stretch="Uniform"/>

</layout:SfCarouselItem>

<layout:SfCarouselItem >

<Image Source="Assets/4.jpg" Stretch="Uniform"/>

</layout:SfCarouselItem>

</layout:SfCarousel>
SfCarousel carousel = new SfCarousel() { Height = 500, Width = 500 };

carousel.Items.Add(new SfCarouselItem() { Content = new Image() { Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"ms-appx:///Assets/1.jpg", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)) } });

carousel.Items.Add(new SfCarouselItem() { Content = new Image() { Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"ms-appx:///Assets/2.jpg", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)) } });

carousel.Items.Add(new SfCarouselItem() { Content = new Image() { Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"ms-appx:///Assets/3.jpg", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)) } });

carousel.Items.Add(new SfCarouselItem() { Content = new Image() { Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(@"ms-appx:///Assets/4.jpg", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)) } });
Dim carousel As New SfCarousel() With {
	.Height = 500,
	.Width = 500
}

carousel.Items.Add(New SfCarouselItem() With {
	.Content = New Image() With {.Source = New BitmapImage(New Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/1.jpg", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute))}
})

carousel.Items.Add(New SfCarouselItem() With {
	.Content = New Image() With {.Source = New BitmapImage(New Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/2.jpg", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute))}
})

carousel.Items.Add(New SfCarouselItem() With {
	.Content = New Image() With {.Source = New BitmapImage(New Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/3.jpg", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute))}
})

carousel.Items.Add(New SfCarouselItem() With {
	.Content = New Image() With {.Source = New BitmapImage(New Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/4.jpg", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute))}
})
