Syntax

'Declaration
Public ReadOnly Property ExternalCallersFromCrossDomain As CrossDomainAccess

<Deployment xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007/deployment" ExternalCallersFromCrossDomain="CrossDomainAccess" .../>

Property Value

Type: System.Windows.CrossDomainAccess
A value that indicates the access level of cross-domain callers.

Remarks

Dependency property identifier field: ExternalCallersFromCrossDomainProperty

The ExternalCallersFromCrossDomain property controls JavaScript and HTML DOM access to scriptable objects defined in cross-domain .xap files.

The attribute has no effect in same-domain .xap files. By default, access is disabled in cross-domain .xap files.

The ExternalCallersFromCrossDomain property accepts two values: ScriptableOnly and NoAccess.

When the property is set to ScriptableOnly, the host's native JavaScript can only access scriptable objects that the Silverlight-based application code registers with the runtime. It cannot query or set properties on any other objects. Additionally, it will not receive event notifications.

Caution noteCaution:

The ScriptableOnly value will allow a cross-domain .xap file to programmatically call any scriptable objects that are explicitly exposed by the application.

When the ExternalCallersFromCrossDomain property is set to NoAccess, scriptable entry points and creatable types are not available to JavaScript or the DOM.
