How to Embed Silverlight Content in Almost Any Web Page

  • Article

Catherine Heller has written up a great post that describes a new feature in Silverlight Streaming. Having uploaded a Silverlight application to the Silverlight Streaming service, you can now embed it in any web page as an <iframe>.

If you want to include a cool Silverlight gadget on your blog, but your blog engine doesn't support custom scripts or XAML files, this will work well. It's also perfect for a social networking site like Facebook, since you can create an application that hosts an <iframe>.

Here's a little example that demonstrates this:

All it took to embed this was one element:

 <iframe src="https://silverlight.services.live.com/invoke/32/SlLogo/iframe.html" 
        frameborder="0" width="258" height="100" scrolling="no" />

Of course, you're welcome to steal this one-liner to add some Silverlight "bling" to your own site :-)

In the next post, I'll walk through a step-by-step guide to uploading an Expression Blend project to Silverlight Streaming.

    Tim great little snippet to help us get a little Silverlight love on our blogs.  Maybe we can get a transparent one so that it doesn't look so bad on non-white blogs :). As I pointed out in my post http://www.brockett.net/?p=204 it's all about getting Silverlight down to the client machine and "blog bling" and small little web apps is a great way to spread the platform.

    i have plugged in Homer Simpson as Silverlight in weblogs.asp.net page. You need all scripts inline and the xaml as text/xaml script

    I'm having problems getting this to work in my WordPress blog. I'm guessing it's because WordPress parses iFrames incorrectly but I'm not entirely sure. You can read more about it here: http://blog.pinkandyellow.com/silverlight/silverlight-posting-test-20070808/ If anyone has any more luck than me doing this I'd much appreciate the help. mor10

    Please disregard my earlier comment. Turns out the reason why the code above doesn't work in WordPress is because WordPress needs a proper close to the <iframe> command. If you try the shorthand /> WordPress will insert an </iframe> right after the src call leaving the rest of the code out in the cold. This causes massive problems. lesson learned.

    So does this mean I can't just include a script from another domain?

    This is quite handy when trying to embed silverlight in a site when having no access to code, etc. For using this in your normal website isn't very efficient. Wherefore we created a .NET control for use in our own sites. See here: http://web-snippets.blogspot.com/2007/09/embedding-silverlight-using-net-control.html
