Downloading and Extracting Silverlight Resources at Runtime (pagebrooks.com)

submitted by pbrooks(755) 1 year, 10 months ago

One nice feature of Silverlight is the ability to load resources from the server at runtime. For example, suppose your application needs to display text in a specific font. Ideally, your code would call out to the server (using WebClient) to pull these resources only as they become necessary. The cool thing is that you can zip up any resource you have and then extract it for use on the client side.
