SilverLight

[Cal Who]

I've been reading about SilverLight and have run some of the sample kits.
I'm sure I'll eventually find out what I want to know but I'd like a head's
up now.

I have a asp.net website (not the application version) and I wonder if I'm
going to be able to include SilverLight controls on an aspx page?

Or can I mix xapl pages with aspx pages on the same site?


Thanks

Never mind. I've been reading for two days and as soon as I post I find the
answer.

which is: yes

Are you saying the bold text in that reply to a question submitted to a
forum has actually allowed you to integrate a Silverlight User Control into
an existing ASP.NET web forms page?

 

[Cal Who]

I don't understand your reference to "bold text" but yes I added a
silverelight project to my website solution and uses the controller it made
in and existing .aspx page.

You find that surprising??

 

[Hillbilly]

Not surprising but not able to dive into what actually works and what
doesn't and as we all know what is said on a forum may not be a repeatable
solution.

The point being in this context, taking an existing ASP.NET Web forms
"website" and integrating a Silverlight User Control into an existing .aspx
page.

I don't understand what you are not saying but maybe implying.
If you think this is not a good idea I'd sure like to know.
If the answer to my original post is really "No" then I'd definitely would
like to know that.

What I did was the following:

In vs2010 I clicked on the solution containing my web site.

It gave me options and I picked the following:
C#/Silverlight/SilverlightApplication

Clicked OK and the resulting dialog asked:
Host the Silverlight application in a new or existing web site solution?
with my solution name in the dropdown list

I left all that selected and also the option to
add a test page

As I remember it generated a aspx page in my solution.
As it turned out I already had an aspx page so I cut and pasted the code
into it. And deleted the page it created.

Do you see a problem?

Thanks

Could you just restate what you mean in different words? I'd can't quite
figure out if you're saying that I may run into problems or not saying that.

Thanks

Sorry for any ambiguity Cal, I just haven't made time to learn how to embed
Silverlight into an existing ASP.NET web form. I'll get around to trying the
approach you explained.
