Hello, if what you mean is you want to have another Silverlight application inside a Canvas of the first one, I suggest you to use a single Silverlight application with two UserControls. You can just put another UserControl in that Canvas. This will be much easier than creating two separate Silverlight applications and handle the communication stuffs.

thank you very much for your answer.

suppose we have a silverlight application and the usercontrol of this contains two canvases.

On the second canvas i want to load another silverlight application. And i also need to communicate with these two silverlight applications.

Is this possible?

With in your silverlight application you can write the following code to get the HTMl elements

HtmlDocument _doc = HtmlPage.Document;

_doc.GetElementById("ValueText").SetProperty("Value", txtName.Text);

Now the html textbox value is set from the Silverlight application.Like wise you can get the value of the HTML element inside the second silverlight pluggin.

Silverlight is a browser-based plugin. Because of this, each Silverlight application runs within an instance of the plugin. Each instance is basically just an HTML object element. Because of this, if you want to call a Silverlight application from another application you must call the application through the HTML DOM.

If you are using Silverlight 2, you can use the classes in the System.Windows.Browser namespace to help you do this from managed code. If you are using Silverlight 1.0, you can do this using standard JavaScript.
