    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

    4 copy the source code change according to your environment   

    <div id="SilverLightTopPanel"><script type="text/javascript">

    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: {}

    }); </script></div>

    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 )

     Thanks

    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

    Here is the solution for silverlight MOSS integration. 
    1. Part 1 (Silverlight project DLL to be copied into this ClientBin Directory)
      1. Create ClientBin Directory under this folder   (C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80)    Default web app
      2. Open IIS Manager  and locate the ClientBin Directory Created in step 1
      3. Choose the property window of CilentBin4.      Change the  Execute Permissions: to Scripts Only
    2. Part 2
      1.  Create a Project in Expression Blend
      2. Build and Test the project.
      3. Copy the DLL ( created under ClientBin directory of the Silverlight project) into the Sharepoint application  ClientBin Directory (C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80)
    3. Part 3
      1.  Upload the  XAML file to sharepoint application
        1. SiteAction ->View All Site content                                                                                                 
          1.    Option 1
            1.  Create -> Documentment Library
            2.  Type SilverlightPages ( anyname ) into Name Textbox and click create button
            3.  Upload the XAML file into the Silverlightpages folder                                                                                                
          2.  Option 2
            1. Click on pages
            2.  Upload the XAML file into the Pages folder
        2. Publish and Approve the file  ( if needed )
      2. Add the following code into your sharepoint page  or  custom master page
      • 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: {}               });}                
        •  Copy this (createsilverlghtobjects .js) file into C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033 (Sharepoint sever) 
    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 ) 

    Thanks

    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?

    Hi

    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

    Thanks

    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?
