When you deploy a silverlight application using the "ASP.NET 3.5" way by inserting a ScripManager and a SilverlightControl to embed your app, all seems to work great!
But what if you are going to deploy your app to a ASP.NET 1.1, ASP.NET 2.0, ASP, PHP, JSP or what ever site?
I know you can insert your app using the normal <object> html tag with the right type, no problems there. My problem is that if I'm doing that I get this "Click to active and use this control" message around my app in IE, which looks very stupid.
How to I avoid this? Should I use the Silverlight.js file here to embed the app through JavaScript?
Thanks in advance,

the "click to activate" should be away with newest patches. Was a workaround causing from legal issues. Some company had a patent

Do you mean the RC0 release? It should be gone there?

I believe he meant latest patches for Internet Explorer.
AFAIK this problem is unrelated to silverlight.
Have you tried getting the latest updates for IE?
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/ie/getitnow.mspx
or http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
Ok, I google it a bit more my self. This is not something that is removed in the newest patch of Silverlight, but in a patch for IE.
I found some sample of how to work around this, assuming that not ALL my users have the newest patch for IE (my virtual machine didn't for instance). Not of the samples work our of the box. Therefore I essembled my own here:
You can use it as you want :)

Yeah i figured out it were IE he were talking about :)
As i stated in my post above this one, my Virtual machine didn't had this patch, which is why I had my problem. My guess is there is some people out there that don't have it either, which is why I think it is a good idea to use this "work around" for some time.
Actually I'm updating my virtual machine right now :)
Thanks for all your fast replies.
