WPF/E ASP.NET Server Control
Last week, a group of ASPInsiders were on campus and I presented a session on WPF/E. For this session, I updated the simple ASP.NET server control we showed at Mix '06 this year. This control makes it easier to integrate WPF/E into ASP.NET pages. The control has a smart tag which exposes the most common properties. The control project can be found here and a sample web project that uses this control is here (just open default.aspx in the designer).
WPF/E ASP.NET Control API:
-
BackgroundColor - The string representing the background color of the WPF/E plug-in. Any string representation of a Color that is valid in XAML is valid here.
-
ErrorHandler - The string name of a javascript method that handles the WPF/E plug-in's error event.
-
HostFilePath - The string path to the agHost.js file used by the control. By default the control will point to an agHost.js file on Channel9.
-
MaxFramerate - The maximum framerate the WPF/E plug-in will attempt to render the content. This defaults to 30.
-
Source - The string path of the XAML file used by the WPF/E plug-in.
-
ScriptSource - The string path of a javascript file with event handlers for the XAML.
-
UseChannel9HostFile - A bool to determine if the control references the agHost.js from Channel9. This defaults to true. If it is false, the HostFilePath property will be used to find an agHost.js file.
-
WindowlessMode - A bool to determine whether the WPF/E plug-in runs in windowless mode. Defaults to false.
