Andrew Tokeley has a very good example of borderless windows for Silverlight Out-Of-Browser applications.

If you’re creating a Silverlight Out-Of-Browser application then it’s pretty easy to turn off the default window chrome. Simply change the Window Style setting on your Silverlight project to “No Border” (via the Properties dialog –> Out of Browser Settings dialog). However, if you do that you need to take care of resizing, closing and dragging of the window.

In this example, I’m going to assume you have a master page that contains a navigation frame into which your application pages are loaded. This master page can contain all the logic to control your application window.

In all of my earlier articles on Silverlight Out-of-Browser (OOB) applications, I demonstrated you creating the OOB application using Visual Studio. There are plenty of steps you have to follow there. Today I found another way to change the settings for it.

Lately I have been playing with Silverlight Out-of-Browser (S-OOB) and found it cool but… the fact that I can’t just tell it to generate a exe that I can execute frustrated me! I had to always run it and install! I search around and found this excellent post by Tim Heuer about Installing Silverlight applications without the browser involved and this got me thinking… Why not just associate .xap file extension with sllauncher.exe? Then a .xap file is a first class citizen in Windows 7 (W7)?
