Re: Do we have a something like z-index (HTML) in XAML ?

Hi.
I'm going to create a layer above of any elements ! Confused | :confused:

In HTML we could do it with a something like this :

XML

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
#apDiv1 {
    position:absolute;
    left:259px;
    top:114px;
    width:329px;
    height:244px;
    z-index:1;
    background: #CCC;
    z-index: 10;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="apDiv1"></div>
</body>
</html>

Now I wanna know, we could do it in XAML ?
Is it possible ?

If you want to bring things to the front in WPF, then you really need to take a look at the 3D features of WPF. Welcome to the thing that really sets WPF apart from Win Forms.

I would probably use an Adorner or Popup (if it needed to be outside the window boundaries). If you override GetVisualChild and VisualChildrenCount you can create an adorner that displays any element easily. There are some articles on this site which use adorners and probably have everything you need.

No, you need 2008.
You can use the free visual web developer 2008 sp1 to develop silverlight

If you are using Silverlight "1" (not 2) then you can probably use VS 2005..

Go through this guide http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/[^]

Basically you'll need only Silverlight Tools for Visual Studio 2008 SP1[^], it says it is for VS2008 Service Pack 1, do you have it installed? If not, go grab it from the MS site.

I just installed the Silverlight Tools a couple of days ago, on a freshly instaled Vista with VS2008SP1, and it worked fine for me.

To make it short:

When you create a new Silverlight project you actually get two projects in a solution
1. The actual Silverlight application
2. An ASP.net application, to execute the Silverlight application. After all the Silverlight app should be executed in a browser by a plugin.

Now, you are talking about the missing ASP.Net controls.
You are supposed to get only two of them, one is the "Silverlight" which is a placeholder your Silverlight app will work in, and another one is a asp.net control which represents a MediaPlayer.

Check the Silverlight application in the solution, this is where you will develop all the stuff.

I would also recommend you to get a good book on Silverlight and check the "Learning" section at www.silverlight.net

Lev
