Embed one silverlight application into a Windows Forms Application
Can somebody help me?
You can probably embed it using a WebBrowser control although I'm sure this is not what you're after. There is no way to embed it natively since it requires a browser host.

I have a simple question : Is it possible to create a windows 10 app (tablet for my case) in WPF instead of UWP ? Because actually my app need a framework that allow to create pdf, but none free framework exist in UWP yet, but un WPF this is quite different. Thank you.
WPF apps are fully supported on Windows 10, so nothing stops you from using WPF instead of UWP!
In fact, you can even take advantage of UWP features in WPF apps by using the Desktop Bridge (Centennial)
I got a short and (I hope) easy Question.
Is it possible to extend the Aero Glass into a out of browser window in a Silverlight application? I guess the question is wether or not it can access DwmApi.dll...
Does anyone have a solution or clue to this?
Thanks in advance.
If the application is trusted, you could create a COM component to perform the behaviors you want. In SL5, trusted applications will be able to directly call Win32 APIs.
I have a need to host a Silverlight application as a module in an existing WinForms application. My plan is to host the web page that hosts the Silverlight app in a web browser control in the WinForms application.
The part I have not been able to figure out is how to communicate from the Silverlight application back to the Winforms application. For starters, the Silverlight application needs to inform the web page that it is closing and have the browser control inform the WinForms module that the application has terminated. Once that is working I need to be able to send several different events to the WinForms program.
This does not seems like it should be hard to do, but I am hoping that someone can save me a lot of experimenting and keep me from wasting time following the wrong path.
My environment is Silverlight 4. The Winforms application also currently is hosting some WPF controls.
kind of a backwards approach.
Silverlight is a workaround to make WPF available on other platforms.
If you are running winforms, just host it as WPF window. It is really easy.
MyWindow window = new MyWindow(); // WPF widnow
ElementHost.EnableModelessKeyboardInterop(window) // this is part of windforms integration namespace, allows winforms and wpf to communicate
window.Show();
Im creating a custom control. I have common code for WPF and XBAP application. I have some different calculation/work to do if it’s a XBAP application. How to detect whether it’s an xbap application or a WPF application?
You can use System.Windows.Interop.BrowserInteropHelper.IsBrowserHosted property identify whether it is hosted on web or windows
The new Silverlight 3 beta includes the ability to run Out-of-Browser applications. The demos so far show this only inside a special frame. Does anyone know how I can run Siverlight 3 controls inside a (WPF) application?
No, you can not embed out-of-browser silverlight into WPF. The sllauncher.exe standalone frame has a special handler for the offline://(hostname).(revision)/ url given to it to allow the app to have all the features of out-of-browser mode (like extra keyboard access). Unless you can find a way to embed this app into your app, you won't be able to get out-of-browser; if you know some way to do this the address for this app is:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Silverlight\3.0.40307.0\sllauncher.exe
As others have said, however, you can embed a silverlight control inside of an html page and that inside a WebBrowser element. Be cautious with this method, however, since there is currently no x64 support for Silverlight and if you absolutely must do this make sure to compile specifically for x86.
I'm guessing (yes, shame on me!) but you can probably put a WPF web browser on your window and navigate to the Silverlight app inside it.
This is a supported scenario; a recent MSDN article stated this scenario was supported, and scenarios like this forced the CLR team to allow multiple CLRs loaded into a single process.
It seems that SLOOB apps run inside a host process (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Silverlight\3.0.40307.0\sllauncher.exe). This hosts and sandboxes the app.
I suspect that it will not be possible to host it yourself - sorry if that's a little close to guessing, but short of running a hosting web browser in your WPF app I can't think of a way around the sandboxing requirement.
HTH
You can host a browser control inside a windows app, and load silverlight inside the browser control. This is how live mesh is going to do it.
