how to get swipe in windows phone 7

c#, silverlight, windows-phone-7

Solution

You can use the `GestureService` in the Silverlight Control Toolkit for Windows Phone 7. In your UI element, add the following piece of code (after you have referenced the toolkit's DLL in your WP7 project) -

<toolkit:GestureService.GestureListener>
    <toolkit:GestureListener Flick="OnFlick"/>
</toolkit:GestureService.GestureListener>  

Implement the handler OnFlick in the code-behind file, like so -

private void OnFlick(object sender, FlickGestureEventArgs e)
{
   var vm = DataContext as SelectedCatalogViewModel;
   if (vm != null)
   {
      // User flicked towards left
      if (e.HorizontalVelocity < 0)
      {
         // Load the next image 
         LoadNextPage(null);
      }

      // User flicked towards right
      if (e.HorizontalVelocity > 0)
      {
         // Load the previous image
         LoadPreviousPage();
      }
   }
}
