I'm registered to a site which uses a silverlight application that shows some personal information.
My goal is to be able to read some data from the silverlight application.
Is it possible?
I know that this could be done to a regular web page using curl.
but, what about silverlight application?
Does it store the information to a file or something like that?
Thanks
You can use White, a tool for automating windows applications, to get information out of a running Silverlight application. White is mainly used to perform functional testing of applications, but it should allow you to extract information from the application as well.
Look here for an example of White and Silverlight: http://www.codeplex.com/wikipage?ProjectName=white

I'm trying to create a new UI for an app I developed for the Windows Store using the Windows Runtime API. This new client is going to be a WPF Desktop App. I'm trying to reuse as much code as I can but I'm facing several issues.
Fortunately there's a way to use WinRT in a WPF Desktop app (see this and this)
Now I'm blocked by the following issue:
The MediaCapture class has a method to start the preview of a device, after I've started the preview I can create a CaptureElement to display the preview.
CaptureElement is part of Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls and cannot be used in containers from System.Windows.Controls in which the WPF UI is built.
Am I going anywhere with this approach? what would you recommend? How can I display the preview of a device in the WPF app?
Thanks in advance
CaptureElement can't be used in desktop applications - the documentation says "[Windows Store apps only]". In general - the UI controls from WPF and WinRT/XAML can't be used outside of their respective domains (desktop/immersive UI). In a WPF app you need to use WPF controls - e.g. DirectShow for camera capture,
As we all know very well..
whenever we create application inside silverlight it is asking us for hosting it
by dialogue box at given below.
My question is what if i unchecked the check box[Host the silverlight application in a new web site].
Means what kind of problem we have to face later if I don't host our Silverlight Application in any of the option given by dialogue box.
Basically it is not a problem at all. You can add a website at any time later.
In the project settings of a website there is a Silverlight tab. Under that you will find the option to add Silverlight projects to the website. This will setup the links to generate the XAP in ClientBin as well as giving you the option to create test pages for each Silverlight app added. The test pages will give you the sample JS you need to host your Xap later.
You will have to eventually host your application somewhere otherwise it will stay on your local harddrive and hardly reach any clients. So if you have an existing web site you could simply copy-paste the necessary javascript to this site later in order to embed your Silverlight application. In this case you can uncheck this checkbox.
Is there a good way to get Facebook Connect onto a Silverlight page? All I really need is simple authorization/registration. I've looked into the facebook developer toolkit, but the documentation is more or less non-existent for Silverlight, and I didn't really get anywhere with it.
Is there a good tutorial or a working library for adding Facebook Connect into a Silverlight app? Or is the best way to run Silverlight in Windowwless mode with HTML overlayed on top?
Are you looking for something like that? http://apps.facebook.com/chatmotion/
Before developing this small test app i took a look at these samples: http://facebooktoolkit.codeplex.com/releases/view/39727
Make sure to download the newest source code of the Facebook Development Kit for .NET and build it yourself since the release version(January) didn't work for me correctly.
Let me know if you have any problems.
I've decided to use the WebBrowser control that was added in Silverlight 4 to accomplish this.
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.
I am making mobile web pages to be accessed by smartphones and such.
I do not see either Mobile Web Form, or Mobile Web User Control in the list of installed templates in Visual Studio.
I probably need some mobile toolkit or something like that, but I can never find what I am looking for on MSDN. Anyone know what I need to do?
Try downloading the Mobile Web Application Template for Visual Studio.
