The HTML Hosting & Puzzle application shows off using the new Silverlight 4 WebBrowser control in an out of browser application (note: you must run the application out of the browser for it to work).  It allows you to use the control both interactively (meaning you can click the HTML within it and run it like an application).  It also allows you to use the hosted HTML as a brush that you can apply to other Silverlight controls.

Although there are many solutions to this problem, the quickest and most frequently solution I use is a regular expression to remove HTML tags. The most straightforward example I’ve found is from John Papa’s book Data Driven Services with Silverlight 2.

To accomplish this little trick I need to define a wrapper DIV in my CSS.  This Div will then wrap the entire contents of the site, so now I only have to center that DIV.  We need to define the width of the content area: it makes sense that you want to set the size of something you want to center so it can be calculated.  To do this, I set the width property of the wrapper DIV to the pixel width of my Silverlight control.

Jacek Ciereszko has created a demo that shows how to connect Silverlight 2.0 with code html.

This demo is like a game ping-pong, but it is not really game because you not suppose to play but learn Silverlight 2.0 !

It is generally a problem in silverlight to use the HTML content. First and foremost problem is the trouble with setting the position of the control based on the silverlight page we are creating. Also it is really clunky to write the code to read and write your div details by accessing the HTML DOM objects.

Damian Edwards stayed at my house a week leading up to MIX09 and he’s had an amazing impact on our product teams whilst he stayed. One question he did provoke my way was what makes Silverlight better than JavaScript/HTML (forgot the actual wording but the meaning i walked away with was just that).

Introduction

There have been many requests online regarding methods to go about sending content to a user from within a Silverlight application. Many Silverlight users have asked for a “Save File” dialog that can be leveraged to pass files out of an application. The technique described in this tutorial shows how you can leverage a standard HTML right-click dialog to allow a user to select the “Save Link/Target As” menu and pass any type of file from any type of object to the user, allowing them to save the file to any location they wish.

Introduction

Silverlight helps for creating Rich Internet Applications (RIAs). It runs in the context of the browser. There is an isolated area, called sandbox, which holds the Silverlight application. But why is it necessary to restrict the Silverlight applications in such a way? The answer of this question is pretty simple - because of the security. Running such applications locally is dangerous. They may damage your computer or your data. So, there is a necessity to somehow restrict them. Thus, a Silverlight application runs in the sandbox.

Update: The demo, the source code and the code in the article are compatible with Silverlight 2 RTW. The only changes I made were to the object element in the host page.

This tip is about adjusting the size of the Silverlight object in the Html to the size of the content in our Silverlight application. The example I will use will manipulate only the height, because the width can be manipulated in analogical way.

Let's start with explanation of how we're going to access the Silverlight object in the HTML. We use the HtmlPage object in the codebehind. With its help we invoke a javascript function, which will deal with Silverlight object in the mark up:

private void ResizeSilverlightOnject( double height )

{

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

}
