Creating the UI:

Open MainPage.xaml file and replace the code with the following.

<UserControl x:Class="Image_Slider.MainPage"  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"  xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"  xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"  xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"  mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignWidth="640" d:DesignHeight="480"> <Canvas x:Name="LayoutRoot" Width="640" Height="480"> <Image Name="img"  Source="/Image%20Slider; component/Images/Desert.jpg"  Canvas.Left="40"  Canvas.Top="30"  Height="40"  Width="40"> </Image> <Slider Name="slider"  Canvas.Top="210"  Background="Transparent"  Height="25"  Width="150"  Maximum="0"  Minimum="100"  ValueChanged="Slider_ValueChanged" > </Slider> </Canvas> </UserControl>

Open MainPage.xaml.cs file and replace the code with the following.

public partial class MainPage : UserControl     { double start, end, height, width; public MainPage()         {             InitializeComponent(); //original values of the slider             start = slider.Minimum;             end = slider.Maximum; //original height and width of the image             height = img.Height;             width = img.Width;          } private void Slider_ValueChanged(object sender, RoutedPropertyChangedEventArgs<double> e)         { //if slider has reached the beginning if (e.NewValue == start)            {                 img.Height = height;                 img.Width = width;             } //if slider has moved forward if (e.NewValue > e.OldValue)             {                 img.Height = height + e.NewValue;                 img.Width = width + e.NewValue;             } else //if slider has moved backward             {                 img.Height = img.Height - (e.OldValue - e.NewValue);                 img.Width = img.Width - (e.OldValue - e.NewValue);             }         }     }
