I want to write silverlight application for iPad device. Is that possible? i have searched on google but not getting exactly. Need proper guidance on it. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
No, it's not possible - at all. Apple would need to make a decision to allow it to happen, but they have not. Before they would do that, it's likely they would consider Flash on iPad first and that has not been allowed either. That's the reason you haven't found anything on it.
Not possible without a jailbroken iPad with a silverlight application installed, which I don't think exists as of yet.
There is no official support for Silverlight on iOS as of Mar 6, 2008. As of Feb 16th 2011, nothing seems to have changed. Check this link.

Anyone here have any experience with AppForge MobileVB used with Visual Basic 6 and Windows Mobile 6.1. I am trying to get a fuser to work but dont understand the syntax. This framework has been out of business for years. I inherited this application, and will soon move to .net but for now its in this mess.
Please tell me someone has some idea,
Chris
I developed with AppForge targeting PalmOs and Windows Mobile. It was 7 years ago but my app still runs in 10.000 devices.
What is your problem? what are trying to do?
Finally, last released AppForge was v6.5.3 that needs licencse per device. Afortunately developers comunity where able to crack it. If you don't have this version, I can send it to you.
Has anyone managed to get a Silverlight 4 app to use Microsoft Z3?
It doesn't seem to work, I think because it seems to use native windows dll's.
Yes, the Z3 DLL is native code and that is most likely the source of your problem. I understand that the upcoming version of Silverlight or, as Eric suggested, the beta, support this.
I can't speak for whether it's written in native code or not, but if it is, you have two options:
Wait for Silverlight 5 (or use the beta today)
Create a web service that uses Z3, then use silverlight as a layer in front of it, shipping parameters and answers back and forth.
Hope that helps!
hi sometimes i get at the top of the screen a small message like: this is only a trial version, when i click on it, it get invisible.
what is the name of this form element? want to use it too
i think it is not a popup
If it comes with an incredibly annoying sound, then it's a MessageBox.
It not, then it's maybe some kind of child window - see http://wildermuth.com/2010/08/17/Using_ChildWindow_in_Windows_Phone_7_Projects
Without any kind of visual reference it's difficult to tell, but you may be referring to a "Toast". There is no specific API in the current version of the framework, though the Mango tools for version 7.1 that are now available include the ShellToast method for this.
If you're developing a 7.0 app for the currently available devices then you can use the ToastRequestTrigger from the Prism libraries for WP7.
Does Silverlight work with IE 6, are there any gotchas?
Just wondering if this is an alternative for customers stuck with IE 6.
I have worked on sites that run on IE6 and we were able to work well in Silverlight. As Silverlight is a Plugin, it doesn't matter what they underlying browser is, as long as it is the once supported by Silverlight team. We didnt come across any issues, we had worked on data driven app.
For client OSs the answer is yes
More detail on wikipedia about compatible OSs and browsers
I'm on Mac running parallels with windows XP and IE8 installed. The options I find either don't work with my version of Firefox or dont install correctly on the windows side. Do you know of any emulators for internet explorer?
What I'm looking for is to emulate websites in ie7 and ie6 to check. I know of IE=EmulateIE7 but will that force all users in IE8 to view in IE7? I'd rather fix my code than force someone to view in a different mode...
SuperPreview in Expression Blend can do that. See this answer.
Alternatively, you can create another Windows XP image with just IE6 and run it using Parallels.
IETester is the way to go. IE 5.5, 6, 7, 8 in one package.
Try using one of Microsoft's VirtualPC images for IE7. They give them away for free but they expire every couple of months.

You can download VirtualPC in Windows. It will probably run really slow in Parallels but you could also use Boot Camp and then run VirtualPC.
http://spoon.net/browsers/ is very handy too.
VPC is really the way to go, get the images from microsoft.
If you're already running Parallels, I'd suggest just using another VM for XP + IE7. It's the cleanest solution and provides the most reliable IE7 'emulation'.
