Passing Parameters to Silverlight

Question

Hi,

Any ideas on how to pass parameters to Silverlight on startup from URL QueryString?

Thank You

Answer 1

Do you want to pass parameters for testing in Visual Studio or do you want to collect the parameters from the Query String to your app?

Answer 2

I do not want to test.
I want to pass the QueryString to my SL application.
Thanks

Answer 3

You can get these values from the QueryString dictionary (in HtmlPage.Document object).

 

using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Browser;

namespace SilverlightApplication55
{
    public partial class MainPage : UserControl
    {
        public MainPage()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            if (HtmlPage.Document.QueryString.ContainsKey("id"))
            {
                string id = HtmlPage.Document.QueryString["id"];
                MessageBox.Show(id);
            }
        }
    }
}
