Is it possible to use glimpse on an Silverlight app or is it made for ASP only?
I tried searching something on their page on how to set up Glimpse for SL-Projects, but haven't found anything yet.
So, I've been wondering if anyone has set up Glimpse correctly. Has anyone tried it yet and can tell us, how its working so far?
We haven't done anything specific for Silverlight. That said, if within your app, you are calling through to JS to make ajax calls, Glimpse will pick those up within the Ajax tab and if you are making calls to the server directly through the SL runtime, they will picked up in the history tab. So you should be able to get some pretty good information out.

I have to use a cumbersome Silverlight application that I don't own and that I have to use as part of my job. In the past a web application that was painful to use I would just "screen-scrape" by doing direct posts, using a browser object to manipulate, call JS directly, but Silverlight doesn't make that possible as far as I know and the company that owns the application says a programmatic API for the application (WSDL/REST) is "something we are considering in the future". I'm sure someone has figured out how to do this but I'm not searching with the right key-words. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
I am in the similar situation and saw ppl suggested something like `teststack' or 'white'. But i don't know how to use them yet.
One dumb way I can think of is to save the 'screen shots' as jpg files and use machine learning algorithm to 'read' the information you needed.
I'm building an application that is using CEF 3 (version 1650) in WPF (meaning I'm using OSR mode) using Xilium.CefGlue as a wrapper.
After a lot of research I've found several features I can't get to work nor workaround:
Focus Management - I need to tell when the last focusable item in the page lost focus due to a Tab press (or the first item due to Shift+Tab)
Javascript Alerts - I got them to work for standard schemes, but not for custom schemes (also found a bug regarding it). I'm looking for a way around it.
Favicons - Seems CEF3 did not implement favicon support. I guess I can look for favicon.ico in the root directory for standard schemes, but what about favicons linked in the HTML itself?
User Permission Notification - I only found permission request events for geolocation request, but I also need for other things such as getUserMedia. Any idea how?
Zoom - This one works except for getZoomLevel, that for some reason always returns zero. Does anyone knows why or how to get around it considering it does remember each page's last zoom?
Process Model - I can't get multiple browser windows opened manually (that is, not via javascript's openWindow) all with the same custom scheme to open in the same render process (already tried all different process model parameters I know of). As far as I understand, it should be possible. What am I missing?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Focus Management is it OnTakeFocus you are looking for?
Favicons has an open enhancement issue in the CEF project
For anyone who finds their way to this question, favicon support is now available in the official CEF builds.
I'm not even sure how to properly ask this question. I'm new to Silverlight and what I'm trying to accomplish is web application that can be referenced using hyperlinks in browser like so:
myapp.com/MaintainUser?UserKey=1
So, I already created modular app with PRISM and using their RegionManager.RequestNavigate and passing URL's here and there. Seems to be working. But browser does not reflect what I'm doing. URL always stays at
myapp.com
I'm not even sure if what I'm doing possible. And if it is, can you point me in correct direction? Or at least terminology.. I thought Navigation will take care of this.
What you are looking for is called deep linking and it's supported by the Silverlight runtime since version 3. However, you should not confuse this with Prism navigation, which is not integrated with the browser.
Here's an quick intro to the standard Silverlight navigation framework.
I want to know how is the Mozenda Screen Scraper coded?
http://www.mozenda.com/screen-scraper
I shows a browser where user can select the fields he wants to scrap and it creates a crawl script out of it.
The crawl script generation part is clear to me, I want to know does it record the user actions which the user is doing in the browser.
I want to do something similar using C#.
I guess they run something like iMacros on the backend. I even noticed the iMacros browser icon in some of their screenshots ;-)
If you want to code something like this yourself in C#, the IE webbrowser control is the best starting point!
#yc08m, I can tell you for sure that they are not using iMacros. It is all coded with their own proprietary code.
I realize this is an extremely outdated post, but they seem to rely heavily on XPath, so first things first you would need to load the page into an object that you can query. I'd recommend using something like Html Agility pack to accomplish this.
I really need some help with this as I have been trying to fix this for months and I can't figure it out.
I run an online chess site written in Silverlight 3.0
The architecture is Silverlight Client connecting to a WCF service that reads and writes data to a SQL Server database. It is hosted on Godaddy,
Once every so often I get the following error:
Could not load file or assembly ‘System.Web.Silverlight’ or one of its dependencies.
The system cannot find the path specified.
If I leave it alone it will fix itself after a few hours, however usually I just make a new publish of my application and it goes away. Also all the pages in the solution get this message not just the Silverlight application. So I have an aspx page with top ranks that does not use Silverlight but is in the same solution it also gets the same error. Its almost like the whole site dies.
This does not seem like a huge issue but it makes going on vacation hard since my site can go down at any time I am away. Also this seems to happen the most when I am sleeping so I often don't get to fixing it until I have already lost hours of potential logins.
This sounds like a ASP.NET problem. I suspect you are using ASP.NET with the Silverlight 2.0 ASP.NET server control. Ditch it and code the Object tag yourself, that way you no longer need that special assembly in your web site.
I received an answer on the Silverlight.net forums, it is a cobination of two items:
Like Anthony Suggested use an Object Tag to embed your Silverlight control.
Remove all refferences of System.Web.Silverlight from all your projects and never use it again.
