Sharepoint 2010 - Anyone know where we can get some free web parts?

[mbird]

We are looking for a sideshow like this:

Vertigo: Slide.Show

 

and any other cool webparts that could be useful.

 

unfortunately i have no idea how to put silverlight into SP and all the webparts seem to be around £600!!

 

Thanks.

Slide.Show 2 more complex

 

WSS Picture Thumbnails Web Part good for large photos

 

SharePoint: Rotating Pictures, Random Pictures alittle easier

 

Image Rotator Lite Version 2.0 nice & easy (good for the tool kit)

Slide.Show 2 is what i like, but its not a SP webpart - so how would i embed it?

with little or no coding...?

I never found any decent free web parts when I was playing with it, but to upload silverlight content just upload the '.xap' file from the 'bin > debug' folder in the silverlight project, put in a silverlight web part, point it to that '.xap' file and you're good to go. Probably a good idea to change the web part properties to match the size of your silverlight app though.

Reading the "Quick Start Guide" it looks like you should be able to use a "Content Editor Web Part" with the "Source Editor..." add code below.

Upload and link all the images into a XML file stored in a Document Library.

and you should be there, might need some tweaks.
