Zoom Control

Question

The ESRI Navigation control is very nice, but is there a way to hide the panning and full extent controls (e.g. all I want is a zoom control)?

If the answer is no, how would a simple Slider control be bound to a map control for zooming in and out?

Thank you...

You would have to be careful to remove references to the pan and rotate elements in the code file too.

Actually no. The control should be able to handle missing elements from the template just fine. You could delete everything from the template and it should still run (although of course nothing would be rendered :-)). So no need to modify the codebehind, or for that matter recompile the api. But you can extract the template from the source on codeplex.
You might also want to look at the two templates that comes installed with the API. They both override the default navigation template, so you can look at how that was done in there.

You could just download the toolkit source code at codeplex and modify the XAML in Visual Studio. You would have to be careful to remove references to the pan and rotate elements in the code file too. But I agree with Morten, you're probably going to want to get Blend if you plan on doing much more customization.
