    After a few customer requests to update my SimpleSilverlightXpsViewer proof-of-concept XPS reader for Silverlight 2 Beta 1, I finally found time to do so. :) I've just updated the original SimpleSilverlightXpsViewer demonstration page and also updated the original source code download - so you can try it out in your own browser and/or download the code to see how it works!

    Project Description

    This project includes a Silverlight wrapper Web Part that can be used in SharePoint 2007 (MOSS) or WSS 3.0 to expose Silverlight content.

    The goal of this project is to create a generic web part that has custom properties that provide flexibility for embedding different Silverlight applications in SharePoint sites.

    The SilverPart Web Part was created with the intention of allowing the integration of Silverlight and SharePoint technologies in order to create full RIA applications.

    The initial release of Silverlight Spy 2 supporting Silverlight 2 Beta 1 applications is now available. Though the Spy may look a lot like the previous versions, it has been entirely rewritten in order to cope with the Silverlight 2 runtime.

    Please be aware that this is an alpha version. There are many features missing, probably a whole lot of bugs to be fixed and I won't be surprised it the application fails to run on more or less exotic machine configurations.

    Thanks to ClickOnce deployment you will be notified of new updates automatically and I have planned to release new updates frequently.

    Silverlight SeeqPod Screen Shot

    In my weekend attempt to upgrade some of my older examples, the Silverlight SeeqPod Player is now all Silverlight 2. 

    Converting the Silverligth 1.1 application to a 2.0 was remarkably harder than the Silverlight 1.0 to 2.0.  It may be because of use of user controls versus real controls (I changed from using two nested user controls to using a ListBox with Control Templates). In addition, switching the format of the web service usage from consuming XML directly to using DataContracts confused it a bit but overall it wasn't difficult.

    Jaime Rodriguez posted a nice financials sample built using Silverlight 2 Beta 1.  Very cool and gives you a nice taste of some of the power of Silverlight 2.

    I just finished uploading the sources of an updated Silverlight P2P Library to CodePlex.  The library has been migrated to Silverlight 2 Beta 1. The Silverlight P2PLib is a Silverlight class library exposing the Live Messenger Activity API. Using the P2PLib, one can easily build Live Messenger activities using Silverlight 2 Beta 1.

    The P2PLib heavily relies on the HTML-Silverlight interop and I must say that Beta 1 has some major improvements in that area. The P2PLib no longer requires a separate JScript file in an HTML page, all required JScript interop is created on-the-fly by the library itself.

    Seadragon Editor

    If you want to create your own Seadragon images for use with Silverlight 2, run over and grab the new preview of the composer.  I haven't time to dig in deeply, but will soon blog about them.

    For those who aren't familiar with this technology, it is a way to compose a file that containts multiple images (usually different resolutions of the same image) so that users can zoom in and out of an image without downloading all of a large image file. Silverlight 2 supports this with a new control called the MultiScaleImage control which is much like the normal image control but supports these different levels of image and support downloading pieces on demand.

    Silverlight

    I've written a quick example of a Google Gadget.  There is nothing really special about it as its hosted in an IFrame so that I could get at local assets (like my RSS feed) to the Gadget.  It isn't a lot to look at, but if anyone is interested in the process or want to add it to their iGoogle page, feel free.  Here's the Gadget in action:


    UPDATE: The BrowserHttpWebRequest doesn't look like it works right in Firefox (though the control does render).
