ASP.NET MVC and Silverlight Playing Nice
This presentation guides the group through creating a very basic Silverlight video player that can be used in a plugin style to add to your website. I have designed some clever
ASP.NET MVC helpers to aid in the process. Towards the end I will have an advanced feature that allows communication between Silverlight and
ASP.NET MVC through the user of Javascript/jQuery and scriptable objects. This presentation should have something for each experience level.
What you will learn:
- Using Expression Blend 4 to quickly create a video player.
- Access video files through Silverlight using a file structure.
- Basic use of MVVM for non MVVM people.
- Organizing jQuery into a ScriptContent section.
- Implementing a Display Template in MVC.
- Wiring up a Silverlight plugin through the MVC framework.
- Sending initialization properties to Silverlight plugins.
- Clever ways to send information from Silverlight -> MVC and MVC -> Silverlight.
