  • Re: Convert Silverlight 2 to Silverlight 3

     You should be able to just re-compile your code once you have the Silverlight 3 SDK installed. Are you getting any specific errors?
  • Re: Modify Default Splash Screen - SL2

     Yes you can. The instructions can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc903962(VS.95).aspx The main thing to recognize is that a custom splash screen must use the Silverlight 1 model which relies on JavaScript. The reason why is because the Silverlight 2 runtime is actually in the process of loading when the splash screen ...
  • Re: Does the SL Runtime Installer Require Admin Privs?

    Hi Brian, Yes, the Silverlight runtime installer does require admin privelages. If I may kindly recommend Silverlight 2 in Action to you, it has this information, information about the DLR, and a TON more.
  • Re: Re: Does Silverlight V2 Use the DLR?

    You are correct. Silverlight 2 is a paired down version of the CLR. The main reason for this is because Silverlight runs within the browser's sandbox. Stuff like COM does not make sense in the browser. The Silverlight 2 .NET FRamework is a very rich framework that gives you TONS of flexibility. It is essentially a subset of .NET 3.5. Is ...
  • Re: Does Silverlight V2 Use the DLR?

    Silverlight does in fact support dynamic languages (IronPython, IronRuby, JavaScript) via the Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR). Silverlight also uses the Common Language Runtime (CLR) for C# and VB.NET code. Silverlight takes advantage of both of these runtimes to enable you to code in whatever supported language you are most comfortable with.

  • Re: Is silverlight all abt GUI????

    Silverlight is NOT all about GUI. Silverlight enables a developer to use the power of the .NET Framework on the client's side across platforms. This empowers you to easily work with data and web services. For instance, everything that is traditionally done with JavaScript can be done in managed code with Silverlight. This has performance ...
  • Re: a beginners question ?

    Hi ed, When you unzip the November Toolkit, there will be a folder called "Samples". Inside of that folder you will see two .html files named "Controls.html" and "DataVisualization.html". These two files will let you see/run the toolkit samples. You do not need to load anything into Blend to just see the NOV ...
  • Re: a beginners question ?

    Hi edkaufmann, Welcome to the world of Silverlight! Here are the answers to your questions, in the order in which they were asked. 1) The asp.net toolbox is not a thing of the past. The asp.net toolbox is relevant for traditional web applications.  Silverlight is a way to enhance traditional web applications as little, or as much, as you ...
  • Re: Silverlight in a new window and opener

    Hi Zachary, You essentially have two options that stem from the same idea. The idea, as you mentioned, is to use JavaScript. With Silverlight, you can  communicate with two Silverlight plug-in instances through JavaScript. Alternatively, you can use the powerful HTML DOM APIs that are part of Silverlight to keep more of your code in C#/VB ...
