Hello guys,

I'm getting to grips with 'gestalt', the new way of embedding IronPython in Silverlight:

http://ironpython.net/browser/docs.html

It seems ok so far, I still need to package my app into a zip file and serve it locally (doesn't work from the filesystem) so you don't gain much in terms of workflow but it does seem a better way to structure Silverlight apps (keeping the runtime separate from the application).

It doesn't seem to me that embedded xaml is working. An html file with pretty much nothing but the following content doesn't show a Silverlight control (Firefox and IE on Windows 7):

<script src="http://gestalt.ironpython.net/dlr-latest.js";
type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="application/xaml+xml" id="inlineXAML" width="200" height="75">
<Canvas Background="Wheat">
<TextBlock Canvas.Left="20" FontSize="24" />
</Canvas>
</script>

When I attempt to use embedded xaml to create the Silverlight control and add a Python script for the application I was hoping to use the following to access the Silverlight UI:

root = Application.Current.RootVisual

root here is None and the Silverlight control is not displayed. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Michael
