The WebBrowser control is available in Silverlight 4, Windows Phone 7, and all versions of WPF.

WebBrowser offers two ways to provide its content: by passing a URI or by passing a string with HTML text: If you have a URI, you can set the Source (dependency) property in code or XAML or you can call the Navigate(Uri) method from code...

Cross-Training in Silverlight and Flex – XAML vs MXML

published 922 days, 12 hours, 28 minutes ago posted by

BrianGenisio 924 days, 20 hours, 28 minutes ago

Silverlight and Flex both include a declarative markup language for their UIs. Microsoft calls the Silverlight specification Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML pronounced zammel). Adobe calls the Flex specification MXML which is thought to have come from the original inventors: Macromedia extensible Markup Language. In either case, these markup languages share two strong characteristics: They are both based on XML and they both do a fine job of declaring the UI. (more)

Windows Phone 7 - Dynamically load XAML - Christoph's Blog

Dustin 943 days, 8 hours, 59 minutes ago

Sometimes it is necessary to load an element like a shape dynamically from an file, resource or directly from a string into the corresponding API classes. In Silverlight for Windows Phone 7 this can be done with the use of the XamlReader Class. This class can be found in the System.Windows.Markup namespace. With the use of this class it’s very easy to create in memory representations of XAML object you created in tools like expression blend. In my example I created an ellipsis with a gradient fill and ... (more)

Deploying Silverlight assemblies via NuPack - Tim Heuer

jantu 959 days, 13 hours, 59 minutes ago

It’s a pretty cool mechanism for getting .NET libraries. For other open source developers this concept isn’t something new (i.e., gems). But for .NET developers it might be because it is a difference from the way we typically have received dependent and 3rd party assemblies for our projects. It provides a PowerShell script mechanism for adding packages as well as the well-known “Add Reference” gesture for VS developers. (more)
