Hi Mahesh,

To get to each item in an ASX you'll need to iterate the 
MediaAttributeCollection Object yourself -

Subject: [OzSilverlight] Question on Media control and encoding

Hi all,

I have a couple of Silverlight questions from a client:


1.   The first involves the Silverlight Media control. He has created an 
ASX file with a list of media files that needs to be played and uses the Media 
control to play it on the page. When the next track button is pressed in the 
media control, it actually just skips a few seconds (rather than skipping to 
the next track). The client wants it to skip to the next track and hasn't been 
able to figure out how to do it.

2.   While using encorder.exe, they are sometimes getting a Cannot find 
Codec message when trying to convert mp4 files and even some wmv's. However, 
they convert OK in the GUI. It is only failing while using it from command line.

Any ideas/advice on how to fix these problems would be much appreciated.


Regards

RE: [OzSilverlight] Silverlight over the top of HTML

Kordesy wrote some code to do it for our Artists in Residence project. See 
about 5:00min into the video:

Subject: [OzSilverlight] Silverlight over the top of HTML

Hey all,

I've found lots of examples of HTML over the top of Silverlight, but so far 
have not found any examples of the other way around. Has anyone found a good 
walkthrough of laying Silverlight over the top of HTML?

My ultimate goal would be to put a Javascript tag into my blog page which then 
runs my Silverlight app/site over the top of my Blog. Am using wordpress. I've 
not seen it anywhere yet (I'm sure its out there) but hey, maybe I'm the first 
to think of it? (haha nah...)

I'm going to make the Silverlight app expand and cover the blog while you are 
using the Silverlight component, and then shrink back to a sidepanel when using 
the Blog.

So far my attempts of have put the Silverlight at the top, and the HTML comes 
after it on the page.

cheers,
Stephen

RE: [OzSilverlight] Custom print-ad creation with Silverlight

That is awesome. Sorry we weren't much help. Shane

Subject: Re: [OzSilverlight] Custom print-ad creation with Silverlight

I prototyped the Ad-Builder UI back in January in about a week, for budget 
approval. 3 person team started in March - prototype was discarded and rebuilt. 
It's been in testing for a little while before release.

Xaml-Jpeg and XPS-PDF were two of the chunkier tasks: the first due to memory 
issues and the second due to testing with our printers - colour correction; 
greyscale/newsprint printing and many other issues arose along the way. Adobe 
originally told us we _could_ use XPS2PDFLib via their 'LiveCycle' product, 
then turned around and said it wasn't supported - this added at least two 
months (probably more) to the project in my opinion as we searched-for and 
implemented an alternative solution (NiXPS).

Now on to Silverlight 2.0...

Subject: [OzSilverlight] Custom print-ad creation with Silverlight


For those interested in 'live' Silverlight 1.0 applications -- Do It Yourself 
Ads (DIYads) is online at http://diyads.com.au/

The premise is that vehicle owners can upload photos  design an advertisement 
(using Silverlight) for inclusion in print magazines to help them sell the 
vehicle.

The Help Videos http://diyads.com.au/DIY/DIY030.aspx show how it works, if you 
don't feel like taking it for a test-drive (sic)...

Although the Silverlight 'Ad Builder' is kinda cool; what is more interesting 
is the behind-the-scenes processing from Xaml 'templates' to Jpeg previews 
using WPF; then transforming the XPS to PDF snippets which are later stitched 
together into the actual magazine pages that are sent to press. Note that using 
WPF classes on the server to render Xaml-to-Jpeg is 'not supported' but it 
seems to be possible if you are willing to play around a bit to work around the 
possible memory-leak issues...

Adobe was openly hostile when asked for assistance with this project (tried to 
sell us Flash, of course, and *refused* to provide any tech-support to assist 
in converting XPS to PDF, despite having the XPS2PDFLib component that can do 
it) and Microsoft wasn't much help either. We found NiXPS (http://nixps.com/) 
to be a great product with very responsive support staff - highly recommend 
their product if you are interested in XPS/PDF print solutions.

Hope it is of interest...
