Comments on: Client-side HTML controls for Silverlight 2 http://www.jeff.wilcox.name/2008/10/html-controls-for-silverlight/ Silverlight, rich client apps and web development Fri, 30 Jul 2010 19:17:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Jonas Follesø http://www.jeff.wilcox.name/2008/10/html-controls-for-silverlight/comment-page-1/#comment-637 Jonas Follesø Mon, 13 Oct 2008 02:34:17 +0000 http://www.jeff.wilcox.name/2008/10/05/html-controls-for-silverlight/#comment-637 Another great post Jeff! Building abstraction layers on top of the HTML Bridge is a powerful concept. The Views (Virtual Earth Wrapper for Silverlight 2) project uses a similar technique to build a managed code layer ontop of the Virtual Earth JavaScript API (http://www.codeplex.com/views). I mentioned your HTML controls as one approach to client-side generation of HTML in my article about printing in Silverlight 2 (http://jonas.follesoe.no/PrintingInSilverlight2UsingCSSAndASPNETAJAX4.aspx). The main drawback from using your controls to generate HTML for printouts is that everything has to be expressed in code (until someone writes a HTML parser/loader). That makes things hard for designers. In my post I used the ASP.NET AJAX 4 Client Templates in stead, and pass in my .NET object serialized as JSON to build a printout for my Silverlight application. Another great post Jeff!

Do you think this could be a solution to the lack of Rich Text in Silverlight? This way, we could use HTML to allow user input/export of rich text, and eliminate the horrible interop story of Silverlight and products like MS Word and other end user editing tools.
