How to bind our own collection to pivotviewer

Question

I'm trying to create simple PivotViewer application which binds my image collection in PivotViewer. I have created image collection.xml file in clientbin folder. To bind this collection i wrote following code to mainpage.xaml.cs

pviewer.LoadCollection("http://localhost:32768/pivotcontrol.Web/ClientBin/collection.xml", null);

Whenever I attempt to debug the application, however, it loads but simply displays the URL for the collection, never actually building the PivotViewer.

In the original SL4 version of the PivotViewer, which it looks like you are using, there was a bug when running it from the debugger. You need to make sure the Web project is the startup project and not the SL project.

Hopefully that will take care of it. If not, then there is most likely an error in your cxml file.
