Using the FlipView Control
The FlipView control can be used to display a collection of items. Unlike the Repeater or ListView controls, the FlipView only displays a single item from a collection at a time.
The FlipView control is ideal for displaying a photo gallery—one picture at a time. It can also be used for swiping through a list of magazine or newspaper articles.
When you use a FlipView, only a single item from a data source is displayed. However, arrows are displayed so you can move to the next or previous item in the data source.
