Silverlight and JavaScript Interop Basics

submitted by crpietschmann 16 days, 19 hours ago

pietschsoft.com — I've been looking into Silverlight in my spare time a bit, to see what it has to offer, and the JavaScript "Interop" is actually pretty neat and simple to use. About three months ago I wrote a post titled "Working with HTML DOM in Silverlight using the Bridge Pattern"; so I think this time I'll go over some of the basics involved with communicating back and forth between Silverlight and JavaScript. read more...

Ensure relevant Javascript and HTML are loaded before using them

submitted by crpietschmann 25 days, 9 hours ago

msmvps.com — ensure allows you to load Javascript, HTML and CSS on-demand, whenever they are needed. It saves you from writing a gigantic Javascript framework up front so that you can ensure all functions are available whenever they are needed. It also saves you from delivering all possible html on your default page (e.g. default.aspx) hoping that they might some day be needed on some user action. Delivering Javascript, html fragments, CSS during initial loading that is not immediately used on first view makes initial loading slow. Moreover, browser operations get slower as there are lots of stuff on the browser DOM to deal with. So, ensure saves you from delivering unnecessary javascript, html and CSS up front, instead load them on-demand. Javascripts, html and CSS loaded by ensure remain in the browser and next time when ensure is called with the same Javascript, CSS or HTML, it does not reload them and thus saves from repeated downloads. read more...

UFrame: goodness of UpdatePanel and IFRAME combined

submitted by superghost 1 month, 11 days ago

msmvps.com — UFrame combines the goodness of UpdatePanel and IFRAME in a cross browser and cross platform solution. It allows a DIV to behave like an IFRAME loading content from any page either static or dynamic. It can load pages having both inline and external Javascript and CSS, just like an IFRAME. But unlike IFRAME, it loads the content within the main document and you can put any number of UFrame on your page without slowing down the browser. read more...

atalasoft.com — Microsoft Research has released some exciting information about a new tool being worked on by Ben Livshits and Emre Kiciman. DOLOTO promises to greatly speed the loading of web applications. It does this by automatically making parts of the application load in the background or lazy load when they are needed. The results look extremely impressive. They tried it on a bunch of websites and saw around a fifty percent improvement in loading time on all of them. These included such content rich sites as Live.com, Live Maps and Google Spreadsheets. read more...

Here's a technique I've found that allows you to inject JavaScript into the page from within your Silverlight application. This example also starts with the idea that the JavaScript you are going to inject is stored as an Embedded Resource within your Silverlight Application. read more...
