A lightweight ready to use Silverlight 3 UserControl that customizes the Out Of The Browser install experience and implements the full Out Of The Browser functionality for your application. No further code needed. How to use it: 1. Select the "Enable running application out of the browser" setting in the application configuration options of your project. 2. Open the OutOfTheBrowserSettings.xml by doubleclicking the file found in the solution explorer. Within the OutOfTheBrowserSettings.xml set the value of the ShowInstallMenuItem attribute to "False". This is by your choice and not neccessary to use the OOBControl. 3. In your Silverlight 3 project get a reference to the OutOfTheBrowserExperienceControl.dll. 4. Rebuild your project. 5. Place the Control onto your SL3-App UI. That's it. Your Silverlight 3 application is now in full ready for the entire out of the browser experience. That means: - Clicking the OOBControl starts the install experience by showing the common installation window. - OOBControl takes the different install states into account by changing its visual states (in and out of the browser). - If the application is running out of the browser OOBControl is checking if network is available and whether an update is available. If an update is available it will be installed with the next application restart. Please post feedback and any suggestions. Best regards, M. (LawBot) |
