READ ME
Please do the followings if you just want to run it after downloading
1. create a web site (http://localhost/streamsvs) with physical path set to “\DeepZoomService\DataTransferService\ ” to host WCF Upload Service
2. Create a website with physical path “DZWebSite.Web” to browse to Silverlight client app to upload a file
3. Download folder.zip for folder structure used by WCF/Windows/Console service to write and process uploaded images. By default, “C:\DeepZoomService\Customers\TestCustomer” is used by WCF service for uploaded files. “C:\DeepZoomService\Host\TestCustomer” is used by Windows/Console service to generate deepzoom package and the path for testpage
4. Create a site http://localhost/dzpreview/TestCustomer with physical path “C:\DeepZoomService\Host\TestCustomer”, this site is used to host generated deepzoom package in a test page. The link for test page is generated on silverlight client page once the file is uploaded.
5. Execute “\DeepZoomService\DeepZoomConsoleApp\bin\Debug\DeepZoomConsoleApp.exe” to execute the service to monitor the file system and to process the uploaded images to deepzoom package
The best way to start looking into it is by debugging DeepZoomConsoleApp project

Hello,
Many thanks for sharing this - I’ll certainly be having a look
Slightly off-beat question!!
Is it likely I could run a simpler setup on a Unix box (upload image to personal website and generate .xap) - on dotGNU for example, any thoughts?
No worries if my question a little stupid
Thx,
Ewan

@ewan, You can host the client on any operating system/web server as long as web server supports MIME type “Application..” but you can’t run the windows service or wcf service on unix box as it is. I have not spent much time with mono/moonlight to comment on portability.
Thank You
