Silverlight + ASP.NET Futures: Better together
Just saw a bunch of great demos from the ASP.NET team on Silverlight and ASP.NET Futures ( shipping with VS Orcas ). The ASP.NET guys have done some great work to deeply integrate Silverlight.
Two of the big controls in ASP.NET Futures:
- A
Media server control. This control enables you to easily integrate media sources such as audio (WMA) and video (WMV) into your Web application, without requiring any knowledge of XAML or JavaScript. The Media server control generates the appropriate markup and code for working with media, and optionally enables you to customize the look of the media control by using styles. - A
Xaml server control. This control enables you to reference your own XAML and to optionally reference any client JavaScript files that handle user interaction with the elements represented by the XAML. If you use managed code with your XAML, this control provides a mechanism to embed your XAML application within the Web page.
You can check the samples with code at the ASP.NET future site. Have fun!
