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.

reCAPTCHA has limitation on browser supports however it works on IE without adding any value in compatibility mode. I have been trying multiple things with WPF application which is displaying a webpage hosted inside a Frame (or Web Browser) control. That webpage has Google reCAPTCHA V2 (I'm not a robot). It works fine in all the browsers but inside WPF app it fails to display properly.
Based on following link we need to have specific browser support
https://support.google.com/recaptcha#6262736
I also made sure javascripts are enabled and working fine. Any suggestion?
I ran into this issue as well and the only thing I know how to make it work is go into the recaptcha admin console and slide the security preference to the easiest so the webBrowser control can do the image verification at the very least
Update:
Found out basically because the web browser control is IE 7 by default
Use latest version of Internet Explorer in the webbrowser control
Can I automate actions like filling and submitting a form, clicking links et.c. in a real browser (i.e. IE11 or Firefox) using only a Silverlight or an XBAP application?
I would be grateful if you could let me know any other solution (other than the two above) that can do the automations without the need to manually install third party software (like Selenium or Telerik Testing Framework).
No one answered, so I'll tell you what worked and what not.
Silverlight solutions didn't work due to the Same-origin browser policy.
The XBAP solution actually worked. I created a new XBAP application and loaded it in my other application inside an iframe.
The user must accept the pop-up and the XBAP application opens a new WebBrowser control doing its stuff.
The whole thing only supports IE.
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 want to develop an silverlight application which plays youtube videos. I dont want to let users install my silverlight application on thri PCs, so I would need to play the videos in browser. Is there anyway we can achieve this?
Silverlight 4 comes with a new WebBrowser control which lets you display HTML content (e.g. an iframe with youtube in it). Unfortunately, that control will work in Out-Of-Browser mode only. So if you don't want users to install your app on their PCs, that won't be an option for you.
So the only ways I see to work around that problem are
A) Open a popup (new browser window) which shows youtube content.
B) Use JavaScript to open a new div/iframe on top of your Silverlight app which shows youtube. You will have to enable the so-called windowless mode for your Silverlight app then (otherwise, you won't be able to display any kind of HTML on top of your app).

I am a beginner in silverlight. I want to know what is TestPage.aspx and TestPage.html in silverlight. Actually i have google it but din't get enough information. Can any one give me answer??
TestPage.aspx and TestPage.html are the pages which will host your Silverlight content. As you might know, Silverlight is just a project (not a web application) and needs a page that can host it.
These pages are created by default and help you to test your XAML content during your development, which you can later remove from your project.
TestPage.html is dynamically generated by the Silverlight application as part of the Debug process. If you take a look at the Debug tab for the application properties you will see an option to Dynamically generate a test page. If this is selected then you TestPage.html is created in the /Bin/Debug folder of your Silverlight application.
A better solution is to create a web application in the same solution as your Silverlight application then in the properties for the web application go to the Silverlight Applications tab and add your existing Silverlight app to the web project. Also make sure that the Silverlight checkbox is ticked in the Debuggers section of the Web tab of your web application.
