I need to add a web page section into a silverlight application. That is the customer clicks a button and a news page gets presented from a generic http source. How do i do this?

You can not display a regular web page inside Silverlight control. But for user click a button in your Silverlight you could popup a new window to display the regular page.
Make your button a HyperlinkButton just like you use a A tag in HTML page:
<HyperlinkButton NavigateUri="YourPageURL" TargetName="_blank"/>
or use code:
HtmlPage.Window.Navigate(new Uri("YourPageURL", "_blank"));
If you do not like this approach, you could also use IFrame to display your regular web page. Set that IFrame style.position="absolute". Position that Iframe on top of your Silverlight control so it looks it embedded in your Silverlight control.
See this thread for more detail: http://silverlight.net/forums/p/15047/50272.aspx#50272

Thanks

Hi,
Is thre an option like _blank to open it in a new TAB instead of a new window ?

I think that depend on your browser setting. You can set your browser to open links in a new tab instead of a new window while the code should be the same.

Which browser are you using? I just tested on both IE7 and Firefox. It always the link in a new tab when I set "Always open new pop-ups in a new Tab" in the Tabs setting.

Hi Sladapter,
Why do your nick doesn't have a Capital letter ?
Sorry my fault. I mean, so SilverLight HyperLinkButton is acting like a popup and not a link because I had link set to new tab in IE 8 but pop was set to new window so I did set it for tab and it works. So I assume, clicking on a hyperlink acts like a popup :)
