Hi !

i have started working with silverlight a week ago. Now i need to integrate to  MOSS 2007 . I am not able to integrate the silverlight pages or the controls into the moss environment.

I am looking for help from any one. If you could send me the sample and the steps to integrate with MOSS it will be great help

try contacting Angus Logan. He did a presentation today at Remix in Melbourne on integrating silverlight and MOSS.Pretty cool presentation Here is his blog site
http://blogs.msdn.com/angus_logan/

He is a very helpful guy.

Actually, the simple web page web part works amazingly well. Just point it to the url of a silverlight enabled web site, and voila, you have silverlight content running in your portal.

However, to integrate tightly into the MOSS environment, build silverlight specific web-parts, etc., is a little (or a lot) more work, depending on how much additional integration you want to the MOSS infrastructure; things like BDC, etc., could be really interesting.

Hi

I had spend several hours to integrate the Silverlight page into MOSS.Now i have integrate the silverlight pages into MOSS . I have followed the following steps

AIM :  Want to Integrate the Silverlight Page on the Masterpage ( Silverlight menu with small animation in the top of the page )

Steps :

1. create a simple animation menu controls using   microsoft SDK

2. Create a Custom Master Page in MOSS

3. Add a Panel ( div ) element into the master page

<div id="SilverLightTopPanel"><script type="text/javascript">

}); </script></div>

5. Publish the master page and approve the same.

6. Change your defalut.aspx file  masterpage url  to custom.master  ( <%@ Page language="C#" MasterPageFile="~masterurl/custom.master" ...... )

7 Upload the xaml file into document library  Initally i  had upload into pages directory ( But you can create a seprate folder and you can refer the path the masterpage )

8. Create ClientBin Direcotry in MOSS - under virtualdirectory   for example C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\CgoSite

9. Open IIS and locate the clientBin directory, and  select property window of the Clientbin

10. Change the execute permission to     <     Script Only    >

11. Copy the dll generated by orcas for silverlight project  into  ClientBin Directory  ( MOSS )

Nice work, I'm going to give that a try.

Hi , In my previous post i have missed some steps to integrate the silverlight pages into MOSS. Now it is updated please follow this step

1. Part 1 (Silverlight project DLL to be copied into this ClientBin Directory)
1. Create ClientBin Directory under this folder   (C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80)    Default web app
2. Open IIS Manager  and locate the ClientBin Directory Created in step 1
3. Choose the property window of CilentBin4.      Change the  Execute Permissions: to Scripts Only
2. Part 2
1.  Create a Project in Expression Blend
2. Build and Test the project.
3. Copy the DLL ( created under ClientBin directory of the Silverlight project) into the Sharepoint application  ClientBin Directory (C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\80)
3. Part 3
1.  Upload the  XAML file to sharepoint application
1. SiteAction ->View All Site content                                                                                                 
1.    Option 1
1.  Create -> Documentment Library
2.  Type SilverlightPages ( anyname ) into Name Textbox and click create button
3.  Upload the XAML file into the Silverlightpages folder                                                                                                
2.  Option 2
1. Click on pages
2.  Upload the XAML file into the Pages folder
2. Publish and Approve the file  ( if needed )
2. Add the following code into your sharepoint page  or  custom master page

• Option 1

<div  id="SilverLightTopPanel">  // you can specify id

 <script type="text/javascript">        

 Sys.Silverlight.createObjectEx({         source: "MasterPageTop.xaml", // Specify your xaml file          parentElement: document.getElementById("SilverLightTopPanel"),  // specify your Div element ID         id: "SilverlightControl",         properties: {               width: "1024",               height: "60",               version: "0.95",               enableHtmlAccess: true         },         events: {}   });        

</script>

</div>

• Option 2      

<div  id="SilverLightTopPanel">  // you can specify id         

<script type="text/javascript">                  createsilverlightmenu()         </script>     

</div>          

 You can create function as a seprate (JS) file and upload into proper location             For example  createsilverlghtobjects.js                         

• function createsilverlightmenu()

{ Sys.Silverlight.createObjectEx({            source: "MasterPageTop.xaml", // Specify your xaml file             parentElement: document.getElementById("SilverLightTopPanel"),  // specify your Div element ID            id: "SilverlightControl",            properties: {                  width: "1024",                  height: "60",                  version: "0.95",                  enableHtmlAccess: true            },            events: {}               });}                

•  Copy this (createsilverlghtobjects .js) file into C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033 (Sharepoint sever) 

3.      You have to copy the silverlight.js file (from Microsoft ) into C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033 (Sharepoint sever) 

4.      You have to specify the file location into your master page

( Add the blow code into your custom master page ( inside head tag)

• <SharePoint:ScriptLink ID="ScriptLink2" language="javascript" name="silverlight.js"  runat="server"/>
• <SharePoint:ScriptLink ID="ScriptLink3" language="javascript" name=" createsilverlghtobjects.js"  runat="server"/> ( for Option 2 ) 

Thanks

I've tried both options but still the silverlight does not show up. I've developed just a simple title bar I want displayed at the top and have modified the master page. There is no error. It's just a blank space. I found that I did not have a ClientBin as mentioned before within the silverlight project. Once I opened it within VS, a bin folder was created and I was able to take that dll, but it was not created when I created the project within Expression Blend. I also had 3 js files in the directory (silverlight.js, default_html.js, and Page.xaml.js) Any other ideas? 

Hi

Have you copied the All Js file in the proper location as i mentioned in my post. If you could not find add all js files are a embedded resource of the project and copy the dll into clientbin directory

Thanks

I have copied the 3 js files into the c:\\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033. I then added a scriptlink for each of the js files

<SharePoint:ScriptLink id="ScriptLink1" Language="javascript" Name="silverlight.js" runat="server"/>
<SharePoint:ScriptLink id="ScriptLink2" Language="javascript" Name="createsilverlight.js" runat="server"/>
<SharePoint:ScriptLink id="ScriptLink3" Language="javascript" Name="Page.xaml.js" runat="server"/>

 I added the div tag

<div id="SilverlightControlHost" class="silverlightHost">
      <script type="text/javascript">
          createsilverlight()
      </script>
</div>

There was one dll in the bin directory of the project. I copied that file IS_Homepage_Header.dll to the ClientBin directory that I created. Does it make a difference that the dll wasn't in a bin directory and was only created when I opened the project within Visual Studio? It also wasn't named Client Bin but was under bin\debug\? Do I also need the pdb file?

could you please send me the project to me i will check the what is the issue, and i will let you know

This works great, anyone figured out loading custom controls which hang out in a seperate dll?
My app is made up of;
mySilverlight.dll (main)
mySilverlightCustomControl.dll

I put them both in \Clientbin. The main dll is found but the custom control cannot be found.

I loaded up fiddler to see where silverlight was going to pick up mySilverlightCustomControl.dll It was going to \Clientbin\mySilverlightCustomControl.dll

Heres the weird bit. When I have fiddler running everything works fine! As soon as I close fiddler the dll (mySilverlightCustomControl.dll) cannot be found again.

So fiddler is having a very beneficial side effect. but I cant ship fiddler :(

Hi,

You can see a demo that renders a SharePoint Picture Library as Silverlight using the Data View web part

http://www.wssdemo.com/pages/silverlight.aspx

I have just updated it with a how to and credit/download for the XAML.

nice demo.. Thanks for sharing..
