Thanks guys, Bit of reading and playing and have got it working by doing exactly that. Wasn't sure why setting it to PropertyChanged wasn't working but it looks like the only two values (in SL3.0) are Explicit and default.

Re: App loading speed
Know what you mean there. I was implementing Prism by looking at the source code and writing my own bits with the same names that they used in Prism. Prism was in alpha at the time. Switching over was fairly easy (mainly because of my choice of copying that which we ended up using.) Heck, it's all made up as we go along. Once someone stops and looks for the common things we're making up, they smack a label on it, call it a pattern or best practice and then its official. Remembering Silverlight was barely a whisper three years ago (half my official development career) makes me realise how fast things are moving still. Wh, Silverlight 4 is out this week and I'm not even sure its hit its third birthday... nope. just checked, it's third birthday is the 5th of September. Agreed though, using Prism for a little project would be overkill but it sounds like its gotten to the size where splitting things up would be of benefit. You don't have to implement the whole of Prism, just pick the bits out you want. If you get stuck ping me off list. I wouldn't say I'm an expert with Prism but if I can help, be happy to. cheers, Stephen On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 3:53 PM, Greg Keogh g...@mira.net wrote: Stephen, Prism would divert and solve my whole loading problem. Trouble is that I started this app when Prism was still in nappies and I decided to write my own mini-CAB which used the View-Controller pattern. I spent several weeks writing a demo in CAB and it was monstrous overkill for a team of one and half people. It made more work than it solved. I figured the same would happen with Prism, however I would now consider using it for any new large SL project, or perhaps the MVVM-lite that I saw last week. I was rather irritated that I followed the CAB pattern, and then last year everyone goes into a frenzy of MVVM and binding everything to everything else. Due to peer group pressure, over the last few months I’ve refactored my app to use binding in the MVVM style. Now my app is mostly MVVM with some remnants of View-Controller where I found the binding so mind-bogglingly difficult to implement that I skipped it for now. I find that using pure binding is like building a delicate crystal palace made out of puzzle pieces. Binding is a clever invention, but it was released before anyone looked at the big picture of how to use it consistently and productively. I spend more time tweaking bound classes, properties and XML than I do writing code. Now we’ve got people advocating binding for method calls using wrapper classes and attached properties and I’m still not sure what’s the best way of doing it. It’s like it’s being invented on the run.

Maybe IE9 will change that? Pure speculation. Although with the separate processes, is there much need for 64-bit? FWIW, it is possible to have a 64-bit browser load 32-bit plugins with some kind of wrapper - this is exactly what happens on OSX and Safari. That said, Safari is now also going with the each tab in a separate process approach.

Re: Move Silverlight Element around in HTML
If the SL app is inside an updatepanel I don't think you will ever win. You could try pagemethods instead of updatepanels perhaps, assuming the legacy permits. I just tried it out for fun. I have two divs, one with a SL app and one with a html button. On clicking the button I hid the SL div, called the page method, and on the page method callback showed the SL div and updated a label in the html div with the time from the server. The SL app definitely didn't reload, as I had a timestamp showing in the xaml side of things that didn't change.
