Actually, the simple web page web part works amazingly well. Just point it to the url of a silverlight enabled web site, and voila, you have silverlight content running in your portal.
However, to integrate tightly into the MOSS environment, build silverlight specific web-parts, etc., is a little (or a lot) more work, depending on how much additional integration you want to the MOSS infrastructure; things like BDC, etc., could be really interesting.

Hi
I had spend several hours to integrate the Silverlight page into MOSS.Now i have integrate the silverlight pages into MOSS . I have followed the following steps
AIM : Want to Integrate the Silverlight Page on the Masterpage ( Silverlight menu with small animation in the top of the page )
Steps :
1. create a simple animation menu controls using microsoft SDK
2. Create a Custom Master Page in MOSS
3. Add a Panel ( div ) element into the master page
<
Sys.Silverlight.createObjectEx({
source: "MasterPageTop.xaml", // Proper Path Ex. This file is uploaded into pages directory
parentElement: document.getElementById("SilverLightTopPanel"),
id: "SilverlightControl",
properties: {
width: "1024",
height: "60",
version: "0.95",
enableHtmlAccess: true
},
events: {}
});
5. Publish the master page and approve the same.
6. Change your defalut.aspx file masterpage url to custom.master ( <%@ Page language="C#" MasterPageFile="~masterurl/custom.master" ...... )
7 Upload the xaml file into document library Initally i had upload into pages directory ( But you can create a seprate folder and you can refer the path the masterpage )
8. Create ClientBin Direcotry in MOSS - under virtualdirectory for example C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\CgoSite
9. Open IIS and locate the clientBin directory, and select property window of the Clientbin
10. Change the execute permission to < Script Only >
11. Copy the dll generated by orcas for silverlight project into ClientBin Directory ( MOSS )

Hi , In my previous post i have missed some steps to integrate the silverlight pages into MOSS. Now it is updated please follow this step
Option 1 <div id="SilverLightTopPanel"> // you can specify id <script type="text/javascript"> Sys.Silverlight.createObjectEx({ source: "MasterPageTop.xaml", // Specify your xaml file parentElement: document.getElementById("SilverLightTopPanel"), // specify your Div element ID id: "SilverlightControl", properties: { width: "1024", height: "60", version: "0.95", enableHtmlAccess: true }, events: {} }); </script></div> Option 2 <div id="SilverLightTopPanel"> // you can specify id <script type="text/javascript"> createsilverlightmenu() </script> </div> You can create function as a seprate (JS) file and upload into proper location For example createsilverlghtobjects.js function createsilverlightmenu() { Sys.Silverlight.createObjectEx({ source: "MasterPageTop.xaml", // Specify your xaml file parentElement: document.getElementById("SilverLightTopPanel"), // specify your Div element ID id: "SilverlightControl", properties: { width: "1024", height: "60", version: "0.95", enableHtmlAccess: true }, events: {} });}
<div id="SilverLightTopPanel"> // you can specify id <script type="text/javascript"> Sys.Silverlight.createObjectEx({ source: "MasterPageTop.xaml", // Specify your xaml file parentElement: document.getElementById("SilverLightTopPanel"), // specify your Div element ID id: "SilverlightControl", properties: { width: "1024", height: "60", version: "0.95", enableHtmlAccess: true }, events: {} }); </script></div>
<script type="text/javascript"> Sys.Silverlight.createObjectEx({ source: "MasterPageTop.xaml", // Specify your xaml file parentElement: document.getElementById("SilverLightTopPanel"), // specify your Div element ID id: "SilverlightControl", properties: { width: "1024", height: "60", version: "0.95", enableHtmlAccess: true }, events: {} }); </script>
Sys.Silverlight.createObjectEx({ source: "MasterPageTop.xaml", // Specify your xaml file parentElement: document.getElementById("SilverLightTopPanel"), // specify your Div element ID id: "SilverlightControl", properties: { width: "1024", height: "60", version: "0.95", enableHtmlAccess: true }, events: {} });
<div id="SilverLightTopPanel"> // you can specify id <script type="text/javascript"> createsilverlightmenu() </script> </div>
<script type="text/javascript"> createsilverlightmenu() </script>
You can create function as a seprate (JS) file and upload into proper location For example createsilverlghtobjects.js
{ Sys.Silverlight.createObjectEx({ source: "MasterPageTop.xaml", // Specify your xaml file parentElement: document.getElementById("SilverLightTopPanel"), // specify your Div element ID id: "SilverlightControl", properties: { width: "1024", height: "60", version: "0.95", enableHtmlAccess: true }, events: {} });}
3. You have to copy the silverlight.js file (from Microsoft ) into C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033 (Sharepoint sever) 4. You have to specify the file location into your master page ( Add the blow code into your custom master page ( inside head tag) <SharePoint:ScriptLink ID="ScriptLink2" language="javascript" name="silverlight.js" runat="server"/> <SharePoint:ScriptLink ID="ScriptLink3" language="javascript" name=" createsilverlghtobjects.js" runat="server"/> ( for Option 2 )
4. You have to specify the file location into your master page
( Add the blow code into your custom master page ( inside head tag) <SharePoint:ScriptLink ID="ScriptLink2" language="javascript" name="silverlight.js" runat="server"/> <SharePoint:ScriptLink ID="ScriptLink3" language="javascript" name=" createsilverlghtobjects.js" runat="server"/> ( for Option 2 )
( Add the blow code into your custom master page ( inside head tag)

I've tried both options but still the silverlight does not show up. I've developed just a simple title bar I want displayed at the top and have modified the master page. There is no error. It's just a blank space. I found that I did not have a ClientBin as mentioned before within the silverlight project. Once I opened it within VS, a bin folder was created and I was able to take that dll, but it was not created when I created the project within Expression Blend. I also had 3 js files in the directory (silverlight.js, default_html.js, and Page.xaml.js) Any other ideas?

Have you copied the All Js file in the proper location as i mentioned in my post. If you could not find add all js files are a embedded resource of the project and copy the dll into clientbin directory
08-21-2007 11:33 AM |
I have copied the 3 js files into the c:\\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033. I then added a scriptlink for each of the js files
<SharePoint:ScriptLink id="ScriptLink1" Language="javascript" Name="silverlight.js" runat="server"/><SharePoint:ScriptLink id="ScriptLink2" Language="javascript" Name="createsilverlight.js" runat="server"/><SharePoint:ScriptLink id="ScriptLink3" Language="javascript" Name="Page.xaml.js" runat="server"/>
I added the div tag
<div id="SilverlightControlHost" class="silverlightHost"> <script type="text/javascript"> createsilverlight() </script></div>
There was one dll in the bin directory of the project. I copied that file IS_Homepage_Header.dll to the ClientBin directory that I created. Does it make a difference that the dll wasn't in a bin directory and was only created when I opened the project within Visual Studio? It also wasn't named Client Bin but was under bin\debug\? Do I also need the pdb file?

could you please send me the project to me i will check the what is the issue, and i will let you know

This works great, anyone figured out loading custom controls which hang out in a seperate dll?My app is made up of;mySilverlight.dll (main)mySilverlightCustomControl.dllI put them both in \Clientbin. The main dll is found but the custom control cannot be found.I loaded up fiddler to see where silverlight was going to pick up mySilverlightCustomControl.dll It was going to \Clientbin\mySilverlightCustomControl.dllHeres the weird bit. When I have fiddler running everything works fine! As soon as I close fiddler the dll (mySilverlightCustomControl.dll) cannot be found again.So fiddler is having a very beneficial side effect. but I cant ship fiddler :(

Hi,
You can see a demo that renders a SharePoint Picture Library as Silverlight using the Data View web part
http://www.wssdemo.com/pages/silverlight.aspx
I have just updated it with a how to and credit/download for the XAML.

The .NET Framework 3.5 webcasts, podcasts, and virtual labs site has a demo of building a Microsoft Silverlight application that is integrated into Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies. Search for the "BenkoTIPS Live and On Demand: LINQ to Amazon to Silverlight to SharePoint Products and Technologies" webcast.

I uploaded a new version of my Silverlight WebPart, it now works with Silverlight 3.0 The WebPart will let you browse through a document or picture library in SharePoint and display the items in a cool i-tunes style coverflow control.
