Silverlight 2

Overview

Silverlight is Microsoft’s offering for designing, developing, and delivering rich interactive applications over the internet. These applications can run on all major platforms and in all major browsers. Significantly though, not every web application needs rich, interactive features. Even in these situations, Silverlight can be a valuable ally thanks to the System.Windows.Browser namespace. This namespace will be covered in a whirlwind tour that includes: calling managed code from JavaScript, using managed code to control the HTML DOM, and accessing the user’s browser window.

Features include the Silverlight Plug-in, Calling Managed Code from JavaScript, Using Managed Code to Manage the HTML DOM, Accessing the User’s Browser Window, Hot Tips and more.
