picture array flipview

[Anton Thabain]

hello people, i am trying to modify this code from a Microsoft Sample.


i have a flip view and it holds only one picture for each object. and i have a flip view that scrolls through these images.


my question is. how can i add many pictures to one object. now i know i need to use an array but i cant figure out how to do it.


here is the code. in the SampleDataSource in my Windows 8 App

using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;
using Windows.ApplicationModel.Resources.Core;
using Windows.Foundation;
using Windows.Foundation.Collections;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Data;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Media;
using Windows.UI.Xaml.Media.Imaging;

// The data model defined by this file serves as a representative example of a strongly-typed
// model that supports notification when members are added, removed, or modified. The property
// names chosen coincide with data bindings in the standard item templates.
//
// Applications may use this model as a starting point and build on it, or discard it entirely and
// replace it with something appropriate to their needs.

namespace Controls_FlipView.Data
{
/// <summary>
/// Base class for <see cref="SampleDataItem"/> and <see cref="SampleDataGroup"/> that
/// defines properties common to both.
/// </summary>
[Windows.Foundation.Metadata.WebHostHidden]
public abstract class SampleDataCommon : SDKTemplate.Common.BindableBase
{
private static Uri _baseUri = new Uri("ms-appx:///");

public SampleDataCommon(String title, String type, String picture)
{
this._title = title;
this._type = type;
this._picture = picture;
}

private string _title = string.Empty;
public string Title
{
get { return this._title; }
set { this.SetProperty(ref this._title, value); }
}

private string _type = string.Empty;
public string Type
{
get { return this._type; }
set { this.SetProperty(ref this._type, value); }
}

private Uri _image=null;
private String _picture = null;
public Uri Image
{
get
{
return new Uri(SampleDataCommon._baseUri, this._picture);
}

set
{
this._picture = null;
this.SetProperty(ref this._image, value);
}
}
}

/// <summary>
/// Generic item data model.
/// </summary>
public class SampleDataItem : SampleDataCommon
{
public SampleDataItem(String title, String type, String picture)
: base(title, type, picture)
{
}

}

/// <summary>
/// Creates a collection of groups and items with hard-coded content.
/// </summary>
public sealed class SampleDataSource
{
private ObservableCollection<object> _items = new ObservableCollection<object>();
public ObservableCollection<object> Items
{
get { return this._items; }
}

public SampleDataSource()
{
Items.Add(new SampleDataItem("Cliff",
"item",
"Assets/Cliff.jpg"
));
Items.Add(new SampleDataItem("Grapes",
"item",
"Assets/Grapes.jpg"
));
Items.Add(new SampleDataItem("Rainier",
"item",
"Assets/Rainier.jpg"
));
Items.Add(new SampleDataItem("Sunset",
"item",
"Assets/Sunset.jpg"
));
Items.Add(new SampleDataItem("Valley",
"item",
"Assets/Valley.jpg"
));
}
}
}
