Silverlight: Divya - E Mca - Ii Year

Silverlight is a Microsoft technology for building rich internet applications that run in the browser. It allows developers to use .NET languages like C# to build desktop-like applications that run across browsers and devices. Silverlight was developed to fill the gap between web and desktop applications. It has been released in multiple versions with additional features and support for managed code. Silverlight applications use XAML files to define the UI and code-behind files to handle logic. When used with ASP.NET, Silverlight plugs into web pages and allows building interactive experiences directly in the browser.

• Step 4 − MS-Visual Studio has created two projects,
• One is a Silverlight project and the other is an ASP.NET web application.
• Now, we do need an ASP.NET web application.
• You can see this in the Solution Explorer window as shown below.

• Step 5− Given below is a simple code in MainPage.xaml in which
a Button and a TextBlock are defined inside the StackPanel.
Code: ( MainPage.xaml )

<User Control x:Class = "FirstExample.MainPage"


xmlns = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/ winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d ="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc = "http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable = "d" d:DesignHeight = "300" d:DesignWidth = "400">

<Grid x:Name = "LayoutRoot" Background = "White">


<StackPanel> <TextBlock x:Name = "TextMessage" Text = "Hello World!" Margin =
"5"> </TextBlock> continue….

Code :( MainPage.xaml )

<Button x:Name = "ClickMe" Click = "ClickMe_Click" Content = "Click

</Stack Panel>
</Grid>
</User Control>

▪ The page MainPage.xaml


Looks like >>>

• Step 6 − This example assumes that you have created an event-handling method
named ClickMe_Click. Here is what it looks like in the MainPage.xaml.cs file.

• Code (MainPage.xaml.cs )

using System. Windows;


using System.Windows.Controls;
namespace First Example {
public partial class Main Page : UserControl {
public Main Page() {
Initialize Component(); }
private void ClickMe_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { TextMessage.Text
= "Congratulations! you have created your first Silverlight Application";
}
}}

• Step 7 :When we run the file on browser, the Output is as
follows,

• Step 8 − Now, when you click the Click Me button, it will update the text in
the TextBlock as

This is how the Silverlight works in ASP.NET Web Application
