If you only have one object tag on your page, you could use the following jQuery code to obtain the id of the html container and then store it off in a hidden field:

Html:

JS:
var hostId = $("object").parent().attr('id');
$("#hostId").val(hostId);

Then, if you need this value in your SL app, you could then use HTML DOM interop to retrieve the value.

Silverlight C#:

string hostId = HtmlPage.Document.GetElementById("hostId").GetAttribute("value");

If you have more than one object tag, you would simply need to modify the jQuery selector code to pick the one you need.

Personally, I would recommend using the object tag to render your Silverlight plugin instead of the server-side ASP.NET tag. You have more control this way. If you must use the ASP.NET server-side tag, you could query the object tag using jQuery. Something like this would probably suffice:

....
<div id="silverlightControlHost">
<object data="data:application/x-silverlight-2," ....
....

Or if you just wanted the surrounding div, you could do something like this:

Hi,

is there any possible way to get id of silverlight html container?

In my aspx page i have:

1    <asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="CphMainContent" runat="server">
2    <asp:Silverlight ID="Silverlight1" runat="server" Source="Silverlight/Komix.RSP.Application.Designer.xap" MinimumVersion="3.0.40307.0" Width="1280" Height="768" />
3    </asp:Content>

But in final html source code is id of silverlight element something like 'ctl00_CphMainContent_Silverlight1_parent'.

And in my silverlight app i need to get dynamically id of this element.

Can someone help me?
