We are looking at the possiblity of adding this in the future. -mark Silverlight Program Manager Microsoft This post is provided "as-is"   [/quote]  Would be great if you could get this in.

  • Re: Is Silverlight the answer?

     [quote user="kwatts"] Silverlight and Flash both accomplish the same thing in that they both make good clients.  I think that you'll be better off in the long run using Silverlight for your front end because there are better tools available for that kind of developement (specifically, Visual Studio) and you have more ...
  • Re: Re: Re: Re: Moving an asp.net site to silverlight, access and security?

    Thanks. I see what  you mean about roles. A few weeks and tutorial video's later, the solution to my question was well demonstrated in one of the videos: http://silverlight.net/learn/learnvideo.aspx?video=56228 It demo's using asp.net authentication after logging in from the asp.net login control, and from native silverlight ...
  • Re: Add Silverlight application to ASP.Net Web Page

    Those steps are done via a wizard that automatically is started as you create a silverlight project into an existing asp.net solution (be sure to choose the best option when it asks how to set up a default/test page for the silverlight app).

Long story short doing the following works for authentication: - Have an existing asp.net membership setup. - Login to membership via the asp.net login control on an aspx page. - Check for status in a web service method using: HttpContext current = HttpContext.Current; ...
  • Re: Moving an asp.net site to silverlight, access and security?

    Hi, That looks ok, but would this example assume a user has logged in already though one of the aspx pages?  How could membership work on a request made from the silverlight app a webservice on the server? or how could the server tell that an incoming web service call is from a -something- that has been authenticated by ...
  • Moving an asp.net site to silverlight, access and security?

    Hey, I currently have a codebase in asp.net that would benefit from being ported to silverlight 2. Thinking about the problem a bit more, just had some questions for people smarter than me: Given silverlight is client side, im going to need to expose server logic and data to it. Creating an asmx web service is a great experice, so that would be ...
