You can use webbrowser controls in winform and WPF. then, you can show the Silverlight content on that browser control. but why... Smile | :)

Support for Parallel Processing?

Do any of the current silverlight versions (1,2 and 3 beta) support Parallel and Multi-core Programming?

I know nothing of version 1, which is obsolete at this point anyway, but
Silverlight 2+ has a System.Threading namespace with the familiar Thread,
BackgroundWorker, etc. classes.

WPF startup time

Hi,

I have developed 2 windows in WPF . In Window1 Window_Loaded i have created the window2 like this so that the window2 controls will be intialized during startup itself

private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Window Window2 = new Window();
}

And iam only showing the window2 on the button click from window1, but the window2 display takes about 4 to 5 secs.

Is there any thing do be taken care which iam missing.

Thanks

Without knowing what is done inside Window2 before it's allowed to be displayed, we can't help you.

Is it really a Window ? Not a derived class ? I assume not. Try setting breakpoints in your code to see which part of the process is taking that long.

That Silverlight was meant to be used as the latest web technology but things as basic as making use of forms authentication or membership seems to require that the developer build services that extend these services to the Silverlight application.

It just seems odd that MS would release a product architecture that is meant to replace ASP.NET interfaces but then cause so much extra work to have to be done.

Silverlight is a browser plugin - nothing more.

Silverlight is not a replacement for ASP.NET, it is (depending on
one's experience) an enhancement.

Silverlight runs on a client. ASP.NET runs on a server.

It makes no sense to build server services into a client technology.

Sure, we'd all like to see the entire .NET framework available in a
browser client....pretty unrealistic though.

I get all that... it just seems strange (to me) that a technology that was so clearly targeted towards a rich interactive experience requires this effort.

I really seems to look like Silverlight was only meant to take the place of web-parts and other technologies like that, but I am not sure if it has maintained that focus. Sure I could build an ASP.NET site that uses Silverlight components to fill various areas within the page, but I am not sure of the simplicity of that aspect either right now.

Yeah it seems better suited for people like me -
I don't have any ASP.NET experience so the HTML bridge and
javascript stuff is totally greek to me, yet I have no problem writing
the services I need, so for me it's a relatively minimal effort.
That's just from my point of view...

The .NET RIA services should help bridge Silverlight to the ASP.NET back-end stuff -
especially for people like me who don't know ASP.NET....but that's not even in beta
yet - I could really use it NOW Smile | :)

Silverlight is a client side plugin. Your authentication/membership would be tracked server side in every case I can think of. There is no reason for Silverlight to implement membership-specific functionality.

I get that, and I am not saying that it has to re-implement it. I am just surprised that MS requires each person that is using SL to develop a web site to have to reinvent the wheel in the way of WCF services that extend the membership functionality instead of just providing (or maybe releasing an enterprise library area) that does it.

on client browser, where does silverlight save my application dlls - by that I mean WHICH Directory on the client side does it store them in?

I was told my application dll's are loaded and run in the client side for silverlight and WPF.

Can someone please help me find what directory or where is this dlls stored (on the clinet side, i.e. browser side) temp or other otherwise.

thanks Poke tongue | ;-P

AFAIK they aren't stored anywhere.

The browser may cache the XAP file that contains the app's assemblies.

Silverlight 3 has an assembly caching option for framework assemblies so they don't
have to be wrapped in the XAP - where tose assemblies get cached at I don't know.

As far as I understand xaps (SL2/3) and dlls (SL3) are cached in the host operating system's default browser cache (so in case of IE it means 'temporary internet files').

Any more information on this will be appreciated.

Other already answered the answer for Silvelright so I will answer for WPF.

If you are using the ClickOnce technology with WPF then those assemblies will be stored in %userprofile%\Local Settings\Apps\2.0

Hi,

I am working on WPF stack panel. In this I am adding images to the stack panel dynamically. After add the images I need to move the slides in one position to another.

If any one have any idea on this please reply me. This is very much necessary for my application. If possible please send me a sample application.

Thanks in advance.

WPF resources

Christian Graus12-Jun-09 14:19

12-Jun-09 14:19

OK, so I am working out how to use these resources for styles. I have a file called generic.xaml, in a folder called themes ( I copied an example from the WPF Unleashed book ). It all works fine, so long as the stuff I define in there, is only used in there. That is to say, I have this:

<Style TargetType="{x:Type local:TBButton}">

which maps back to a class I wrote. That seems to find it OK. Then I have this:

<DrawingBrush x:Key="LogoSmall" Stretch="Uniform">

which defines how to draw our logo. Using the same code that I used inside the xaml,

<Rectangle Fill="{StaticResource LogoSmall}"/>

Does not work. So, I assume this means I need to reference the Generic.xaml file, it doesn't just get registered for global use, as I'd hoped. What's the bit I am missing here ?

Do I REALLY need to explicitly import my resource dictionaries in every control ? Can I do something global ?

Thanks
