# Changing the Angle of Coverflow Side Items

## Content

You can change the angle of the items that lie on each side of the **C1CoverFlow** control’s selected item by setting the **ItemAngle** property to a numeric value (for more information, see the [Item Angle](/componentone/docs/wpf/online-extended/CoverFlow2/CoverFlowFeatures/ItemAngle2) topic). In this topic, you will set the ItemAngle property to **15** so that the side items will be turned at a 15-degree angle.

**In Blend**

Complete the following steps:

1. Select the **C1CoverFlow** control.
2. In the Properties panel, set the **ItemAngle** property to “15”.

**In XAML**

1. Add ItemAngle=”1” to the `<c1ext:C1CoverFlow>` tag so that the markup resembles the following:

```xml
<c1ext:C1CoverFlow Margin="0,0,87,233" ItemAngle=”15”>
```

**In Code**

Complete the following steps:

1. In XAML view, add “x:Name=”C1CoverFlow” to the `<c1ext:C1CoverFlow>` tag so that the control will have a unique identifier for you to call in code.
2. Add the following code beneath the InitializeComponent method:

```vbnet
C1CoverFlow1.ItemAngle = 15
```

```csharp
C1CoverFlow1.ItemAngle = 15;
```

3. Run the program.
