Are there an alternative to Deep Zoom for Windows Store App?

Question

I have to work with a lot of images (high resolutions) and the best approach was to use Deep Zoom but it is not available for Windows Store app.

Does an alternative exist? If not, what could be the best approach to create a custom control similar to Deep Zoom?

Answer 1

You've tagged this with C#; is that the language you're using? I understand Windows store apps can also use HTML5. If that's available to you, then you can use OpenSeadragon, which is a JavaScript version of Deep Zoom: http://openseadragon.github.com

Answer 2

Here is Deep Zoom for WPF, you can create your own with help of it. WinRT XAML Toolkit has planning to release MultiScaleImage control for Deep Zoom support. They are also following that article.
