Michael,

Thanks for this great blog post.

I'd like to get your thoughts on using the technique you've presented here to take an existing WPF SmartClient (Windows) app and process, server-side, the XAML and emit it as an XHTML browser-based app for an open Internet audience (people who may not have the Silverlight plugin)?

Exuse my newbie-ness (to WPF/Silverlight), but if this is a viable approach, aren't there going to be implications for both client-side scripting and server-side event handling/postbacks/etc.?

Thanks in advance!

Erik,

That approach would work great. You just have to find a format that's rich enough to support the various clients format that you want to render in. You might want to come to this webinar on a related topic: http://blogs.msdn.com/synergist/archive/2007/10/24/upcoming-webinar-better-online-documentation-creating-wpf-flowdocuments-from-word-2007.aspx

The basic approach is that the XML format is great becauase it is easily transformable. As long as the data is well-formed XML it can be transformed and adapted to other XML formats like XAML, Open XML, XHTML, or Silverlight XAML.

Michael,

Thanks for the response. But, what about interactivity of the app? I can see how rendering of the XAML to XHTML using this method for the purpose of SEO would work well.

The purpose rendering it as a cross-browser "app" (with interactivity) would at least require the ability for callbacks to services, etc. I'd guess that would have to be templated as well (and have to use something like AJAX), and would get complicated quickly. What are you thoughts given this purpose?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I created a similar test on <a href="http://www.silverlightseo.net" title="Silverlight SEO">http://www.silverlightseo.net</a> just before the new year. Yes it has Silverlight SEO in the domain name and it does have an inbound link with the keywords from my blog posting which can affect the results. More info about the approach I took is on my <a href="http://weblogs.asp.net/jmandia/archive/2008/01/04/silverlight-seo-search-engine-optimisation-optimization.aspx">blog posting</a>.

From what i understand, google does not index hidden divs. http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/002971.html

A bunch of flex guys tried a similar approach and verfied that google skips the hidden divs.

Tim,

You're right. but in this case the divs are not hidden, they're just replaced with the Silverlight if the browser has Silverlight installed.

Silverlight 2 XML Namespace change

J. — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 18:09:56 GMT

Thanks for the great post!

Just thought I would mention, the namespace in Silverlight 2 has been changed.

For anyone trying this with Silverlight 2, make sure the namespace in the xaml matches the xsl namespace.

The change was from

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007"

to xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
