When using Silverlight 5 in Chrome, if the code opens in a popup window that also contains Silverlight application, then the Silverlight plugin get crashed why?
There is similar bug in MS Connect (not fixed) http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/726815/silverlight-4-and-5-plugin-crashes

There is a web page with a silverlight control, when we use browsers like IE, chrome etc, they are all working.
We develop a desktop program, embed a WebBrowser control to a win form, and navigate to the web page, the silverlight object is not initializing, only shows the silverlight logo, just like the silverlight has not yet installed, but actuall it has installed and working.
Is it the limitation for silverlight or there should be some kind of security settings in IE or the WebBrowser control?
I run silverlight in browsers as well as in a 'client' application (WPF, using a webbrowser type control). I can tell you in my project works without any issues, I've not had to change any settings apart from one - as I run it local host, IE prompts me about running in intranet mode.
You should use fiddler to see the exact URL that is being used in the navigation and to see if there are any errors returning from the web server.
I know it's not exact help, but I can confirm it should work. Hopefully that can help narrow your search a little.
I am using Windows 7 Ult., IE9, Chrome. I have just installed Silverlight 5 and am trying to develop an app using DevExpress DXMap control and Silverlight. However, I am having issues with Silverlight it seems. When I go to this site (http://www.silverlight.net/learn/overview/what's-new-in-silverlight-5/introduction-to-silverlight-5-3d) to watch a video on the Silverlight 3d feature, the video player which I believe is a Silverlight control loads, but then disappears. When I run the app with the DXMap control, the page loads a blank area with only the zoom control, navigation pad, and scale visible.
I have tried finding a solution to this problem, but have not been successful. Any suggestions?
Okay, I found out what was the issue. I thought that not checking the "Host the silverlight application in a new web site" option (since I never had a website as yet) would let the application load on its own, but I had to enable the "Host the silverlight application in a new web site" option to get it associated with a test page.
I have an start up page called Default.aspx . Have written an javscript function inside the Head tag which opens an other aspx page and closes this page . The other aspx page of mine has silverlight object/ content render on that page . Due to this my debugger doesnt gets attached to the running silverlight application , also when i go to manually attach to the running Silverlight Application it doesnt works , i saw that type of process shown is script / silverlight / x86.
I am doing this all as my login page is only created in silverlight .
Any one have idea how can i get debugger atached.
Edit :
Below link explains the same what i am facing :
Visual Studio Attach to Process - change default automatic code type (Silverlight instead of Script)
To enable Silverlight debugging:
Right click on the Web project hosting the Silverlight application in Solution Explorer
Select "Properties"
Click the "Web" tab
Check the "Silverlight" box in the "Debuggers" section
I had problems debugging Silverlight in Chrome, while in IE it worked like a charm
A very nice utility is the WoVS Default Browser Switcher which can be installed using the Extension Manager (Tools | Extension Manager...)
This tool allows you to set the default browser to be used when debugging your project. In my experience Visual Studio only connects well to IE.
Using the tool I can keep another browser as my default browser but use IE for debugging.
Just use IE as default browser.
It doesn't work properly until you check silver-light debug checkbox and use IE as the others told.
By the way set web application as start-up project.
On a windows 7, visual studio 2010, I can't get my silverlight app to refresh in Chrome 10.0.648.204. Even when closing the tab displaying the app. Using internet explorer 8 I have no problems. Heelp I prefer using Chrome.
The short term solution is to clear Chrome's cache after you deploy a new xap. A slightly longer solution can be found here:
Prevent your silverlight xap file from caching in your browser.
In my solution I have a MVC project. Then I added a Silverlight project. When I added the Silverlight project, I set to include it in the existing web application (MVC project).
It added an .aspx page that contains the Silverlight component. The problem is that I cannot debug into the Silverlight code when I start the ASP.NET MVC application. I set a breakpoint in the Application_Startup function in the Silverlight code, but it never stops there. On the breakpoint I have a tooltip:
The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document
How do I fix this problem?
Which browser are you using? I've had mixed results with debugging Silverlight with anything besides Internet Explorer, so I'm making sure to use Internet Explorer when developing Silverlight applications.
If you're using Internet Explorer, then Evan's solution should work (at least that's what has stopped me some time - Silverlight debugging disabled in the web project).
Also check that your Silverlight application is present in the list located under Web project properties > Silverlight Applications.
I found the problem. The browser was caching the Silverlight application. I solved that with the following code when initializing the Silverlight component:
param name="source" value="ClientBin/form.xap?<%= DateTime.Now.Ticks %>"
