Vb.net - How To Embed A SilverLight Control In C# Control
Apr 29, 2010
We have a ASP.NET web application written in VB.NET where we build content programmatically during the Init event.
We make extensive use of user controls, building them on the fly, and I now want to start including SilverLight content.
Is there an easy way of embedding a SilverLight application in a control, and then instantiating the whole thing in code, in the same way as you'd programmatically add ordinary ASP.NET controls to a page?
The SilverLight component itself works fine when added to a page using the <object> tag but I really want to be able to reuse it elsewhere in code.
Since I'm expecting use of SilverLight to increase in our application, and the asp:Silverlight control seems now to be deprecated, I'm looking for an alternative way of wrapping the content.
How to embed silverlight xap into aspx page. I have created students database. I want to keep search option to find student name. It should be done in silverlight. I want to embed that silverlight in aspx page.
I've created a silverlight application, MainPage.xaml has silverlight controls. The code behind of it will be definately in MainPage.xaml.cs file. When creating a silverlight app, I've selected a default web project wherein this silverlight app will be hosted and run. After all my work in MainPage.xaml.cs file, I want to integrate it in my default.aspx file. As i understand, I need to give reference to xap file in this aspx file. I tried accessing
<asp:Silverlight ID="xx" runat="Server.. />
tag but had no luck. This tag does not come up, Am i missing to add reference to any silverlight dll to my web application. Or is this tag applicable for Silverlight 2.0 and not 3.0 which I'm using:
I emebeded jquery library in custom server control. but it's not working. it throws "object expected error". the complete code listing is given below.
jquery-1.4.1.js is rename it to jquery.js

I am going to create a web server control representing a treeview. So I want to use 2 images for + and - for expand/collapse. How can I build this into the control in a way that can be used as image source when rendered on the page?
Since this will be in a compiled web controls library, I don't want to rely on external images in the web application.
Edit: Based on this answer by Andre Kraemer I did the following:
Dim lPlusImage As New WebControls.Image() Dim lMinusImage As New WebControls.Image() lPlusImage.ImageUrl = Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(Me.GetType(), "MyCompany.MyWebControls.Resources.plus.gif") lMinusImage.ImageUrl = Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(Me.GetType(), "MyCompany.MyWebControls.Resources.minus.gif") lPlusImage.RenderControl(output) lMinusImage.RenderControl(output)
My Assembly name is MyWebControls.
My Root Namespace is MyCompany.MyWebControls.
The images plus.gif and minus.gif are located in a folder named Resources, and the images have Build Action set to Embedded Resource.
It still does not work. I get no errors. I have tried the generated image url directly in the browser, bot nothing happens, just a blank page.
Note: I tried to use an invalid path in the resource name, and the result was exactly the same, which made me wonder if I need to do something special to map the actual resource to the resource name. I got a 404 Not Found error only if I used different name in the code than what was specified in AssemblyInfo, it had nothing to do with path was pointing to an actual resource!
If i have two aspx pages in each of them i want to put differents silverlight contents (2 differents usercontol) what can i do?.. am i obliged to add 2 silverlight projects with my asp.net website and insert in each page an *.xap content..?
I have a user control in silverlight which contains both XMAL and .cs file. But I wanna make it into a base control. In other word,I can make a control inherited it whose area in it can be edited. Just like Master Page in asp.net,you know. In the base control,I only have a lot of description in XMAL,perhaps it can be described in the .cs file,too.
I am using Visual Studio 2010 and I am working with a simple asp.net website project. I don't see any silverlight controls in the toolbox. Even after right clicking the toolbox and choosing the elements from the silverlight tab I still don't get anything in the toolbox. I even restarted Visual Studio but get nothing.
Iīm just starting to program for the web, so please bear with me. I need to develop a website with a connection to a database. I would like the database to be access, but if necessary I can upgrade it to sql server. In visual web developer, I know how to connect to the db, and it works so for the moment thatīs ok. However... thereīs got to be something very wrong with the vwd. Even the simplest things donīt work. I canīt even place a textbox right. when you change a property, nothing happens. The controls are all over the place, they even move from the default.asp to the master page. 90% of the time is spent on trying to figure out how to get rid of borders from a table and such stupid things (wich by the way is impossible). So I thought of silverlight.
But then of course thereīs the thing with the data interchange. Iīve learned to send variables via querystring. However that wonīt do when I want to dsiplay a large table of data in a gridview for instance. So Iīve gathered Iīm supposed to use RIA. I studied this tutorial [URL] Itīs just that when Iīm supposed to put the domaindatasource control on the asp page, itīs not there. And when I try to add it via the "choose item", itīs not in the .net list. Itīs in the silverlight list though. Is vwd supposed to be this bad? Itīs ridiculous really. Or did I mess up the installation? I use the express version of 2010. If you know of a good tutorial please point me in that direction. I donīt know any c# though so that wonīt work.
i have made a user control carrying a grid which is showing different uploaded images , description etc. I am putting this in another aspx page and want to fetch the values of the silverlight grid. I have made a class file for that but unable to get the grid collection.
I know silverlight page doesn't make postback itself but does event fired from silverlight control postback whole asp.net page If this silverlight,control embedded in aspx page?
Can a custom user control embed another custom user control?is this "bad practice"?eg if i have a custom user control named "Forums" then 2 more custom controls that are "Read_Forums" and "Write_Forums"and all i need to call is "forums" in the page asking - and then it will put in both functionalities..
Is there a generic control that can be added to all aspx pages that checks for silverlight plugin and the version.. I know there is javascript and the silverlighthost object tag that accomplishes this. Is there an existing ascx control that wraps this functionality ? I need to be able to set the path to the xap on each page (via a property on the ascx control).
I want to embed a silverlight app into a web page and have the height/width of the div that contains the silverlight control match the dimensions of the actual size of the silverlight control.
I essentially want the div to stretch to accommodate the size of the silverlight control. I do not know what size the silverlight control will be before it loads as it is pulling in data and adding controls dynamically. I want to avoid dueling scroll bars and use only the browser scroll bars.
I need this to work in both IE and Firefox.Is there a way to accomplish this?
When Bing map control loads for first time on any browser all pushpin on map are visible.
Bing map control renders perfectly.
Then I refresh browser it create rendering issue some custom pushpin on map gets disappeared. This behavior continues with pushpin. Pushpin are (.png) images and I am not using default bing map thumbtacks.
May be it is issue of browser caching content or Bing map control rendering issues on various browsers.
I'm developing a web site, and i'm using infragistics for web, but I want to use in some pages silverlight controls (Infragistics too). Is there a way to access a silverlight control's properties and methods from an aspx page?
On the following website, when I click the dropdown for the Login at the upper right, it is displayed behind the silverlight map. I can't use windowless mode because this would disable scrolling and menus on the map. I have tried putting the z-index everywhere, but I can't seem get it to work.
