First Application

08-11-2007 2:26 PM |

Hi,

I'm Patience. I was wondering if anyone could give me a quick summary of what I have to do to create a website that uses Silverlight 1.0 RC. I've already downloaded and installed it, but I don't want to use Blend 2 August Preview, due to the fact that if I use it and deploy what I've made, I have to put up a note which says that the website was created using pre-release software, and thus might not function properly. Could anyone please help?

The most basic Silverlight application consistes of the following files:

HTML file that hosts the Silverlight application, it needs to contain a DIV with a unique ID and invokes the JS code that generates the Ssilverlight plugin, example:

    <body>
        <div id="SilverlightControlHost" >
            <script type="text/javascript">
                createSilverlight();
            </script>
        </div>
    </body>

The createSilverlight() should invoke Silverlight.createObjectEx defined in Silverlight.js file distributed with the SDK, example:

function createSilverlight()
{
    Silverlight.createObjectEx({
        source: "Page.xaml",
        parentElement: document.getElementById("SilverlightControlHost"),
        id: "SilverlightControl",
        properties: {
            width: "100%",
            height: "100%",
            version: "1.1",
            enableHtmlAccess: "true"
        },
        events: {onLoad: OnLoaded }
    });
}

The third file is the XAML file that describes the UI. The most basic file looks like this:

</Canvas>

And optionally you will need JS files that contains the logic behind your application.
