Follow these steps to add a CarouselPanel control to your project:

1. From the Visual Studio File menu select New and choose Project.
2. In the New Project dialog box choose a language in the left-side menu, choose .NET Framework 4 in the Framework drop-down list, and enter a name for the project.
3. In the Solution Explorer, right-click the project name and choose Add Reference. In the Add Reference dialog box, locate and select the following assemblies and click OK to add references to your project:
   • C1.Silverlight.dll
   • C1.Silverlight.Carousel.dll
4. Add the XAML namespace to the UserControl or Window tag with the following markup:

   XAML	Copy Code
   xmlns:c1="http://schemas.componentone.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

   The namespaces will now appear similar to the following:

   XAML

   Copy Code

   <UserControl x:Class="QuickStart.MainPage" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:c1="http://schemas.componentone.com/winfx/2006/xaml" mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="400">

5. In the XAML view add a Resources tag just under the UserControl or Window tag and above the Grid tag with the following markup:

   WPF XAML	Copy Code
   <Window.Resources> </Window.Resources>

   Silverlight XAML	Copy Code
   <UserControl.Resources> </UserControl.Resources>

   You will add templates within this tag.

6. Add an ItemsPanelTemplate within the Resources tag to define the C1CarouselPanel:

   XAML	Copy Code
   <ItemsPanelTemplate x:Key="carouselPanelTemplate"> <c1:C1CarouselPanel Padding="0, 10, 50, 50" VerticalPathAlignment="Center" HorizontalItemAnchorOnPath="Center" VerticalItemAnchorOnPath="Center"/> </ItemsPanelTemplate>

You have now added a CarouselPanel to the page. If you run your application now, there will be an empty application displayed.
