Examples

The following Silverlight 5 code example shows how a trusted, out-of-browser application can display an arbitrary user control in a separate window. This example requires a UserControl subclass named DemoUserControl.

If (Application.Current.IsRunningOutOfBrowser AndAlso _ 
    Application.Current.HasElevatedPermissions)

    Dim newWindow As New Window With
    {
        .Title = "Demo Window # " &
            Application.Current.Windows.Count.ToString(),
        .Height = 300,
        .Width = 300,
        .Top = 0,
        .Left = 0,
        .Content = New DemoUserControl(),
        .Visibility = Visibility.Visible
    }
End If
if (Application.Current.IsRunningOutOfBrowser && 
    Application.Current.HasElevatedPermissions)
{
    var newWindow = new Window()
    {
        Title = "Demo Window # " + 
            Application.Current.Windows.Count.ToString(),
        Height = 300, 
        Width = 300, 
        Top = 0, 
        Left = 0,
        Content = new DemoUserControl(),
        Visibility = Visibility.Visible
    };
}
