could you not just do it in Silverlight its self? you can in version 3 at least.

Dim thisapp As HtmlElement = HtmlPage.Document.GetElementById("silverlightObject")

thisapp.SetStyleAttribute("height", "20")
thisapp.SetStyleAttribute("width", "100")

"Hi,

I am new to learn about how to call Javascript function from silverlight.

I read few articles , blogs and forum, guess this is a right platform and hope here my problem could be resolved.

below I pasted my code ( I am trying as a startup to test the communication between SilverLight and Javascript)

Error is "Failed to Invoke: updateText."

at MainPage.XAML.cs

namespace CallJavaScriptfrmSilverlit
{
    public partial class MainPage : UserControl
    {
        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();


        }

        private void CallJavaScript_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            HtmlPage.Window.Invoke("updateText", this.Result.Text);

        }

            }
}

at Mainpage.xaml

Yes you can use that trick with the . The browser renders it as and in it the object element is created via javascript. So place your asp:Silverlight control in a div and give it a proper id. And use the same method. :)

Yes, I used the TestPage in the Web Site porject while writing the example. In the automatically generated HTML page in the Silverlight project the javascript function is missing.

The problem actually is in ..\ResizeSilverlightObject\LayoutExperiments\Bin\Debug\TestPage.html - it is missing the function. If running from VisualStudio - then make sure that your Web project is set as a StartUp project - page in it is correct.

Hm...I hadn't updated my studio fully yet, maybe that's the reason. Try adding these attributes to the class and the memebers that are used to access the HTML:

[ScriptableType]

public partial class Page : UserControl

    public Page(){...}

    //the methods that are not involved in accessing the HTML don't need such attributes.

    [ScriptableMember]

    private void ResizeSilverlightOnject( double height )

        HtmlPage.Window.Invoke( "ResizeObject", new object[] { height } );

and tell me if it worked. :)

Hi Martin,

Thanks for sharing this important tip.

HtmlPage.Window.Invoke("ResizeObject", new object[] { height });

throws "Failed to Invoke: ResizeObject." exception

on my system - Windows Server 2008 with all of the latest updates for Silverlight and Visual Studio 2008
