See a live example at: SilverlightDesktop.net
SilverlightDesktop for DotNetNuke has been released. This version of SilverlightDesktop uses the exact same Silverlight core project as the stand-alone version of SilverlightDesktop.net.
Each instance of SilverlightDesktop has it's own Settings.
Settings provide the option to display the normal SilverlightDesktop interface or a single module by selecting it in the AutoLoad drop-down.
Portal administrators are provided endless configuration possibilities.
- You can see the features of SilverlightDesktop at this link
- You can download SilverlightDesktop for DotNetNuke at this link
- You can download modules for SilverlightDesktop at this link
- You can read documentation to make SilverlightDesktop modules at this link.
IMPORTANT - You must add keys to the web.config before uploading the module. See this link.

Re: Introducing SilverlightDesktop for DotNetNuke
Anyone getting an error message when loading this module?
I am getting:
Compiler Error Message: CS1519: Invalid token 'void' in class, struct, or interface member declaration
Source Error:
Line 8: public partial class SilverlightDesktopDAL : System.Data.Linq.DataContext
Line 9: {
Line 10: partial void InsertSilverlightDesktopModule(SilverlightDesktopModule instance)
Line 11: {
Line 12: if (instance.uninstall == null)
Causes a config issue.

Re: Introducing SilverlightDesktop for DotNetNuke
This happens if you do not have asp.net 3.5 installed and add the keys to the web.config. Please see the directions at: http://silverlightdesktop.net/Documentation/tabid/58/itemid/22/Default.aspx (this link is on the page when you download the module). IF you have a site that is down, simply remove the files (not the directoy) at "app_Code/Silverlightdesktop"

Re: Introducing SilverlightDesktop for DotNetNuke
Thanks for the slow down and read warning. :) lol you know how us geeks get. OHHH new toy. Any thoughts on automating some of the web config pieces? That could be the making / breaking piece for this module. Granted its a slightly advanced module but as things expand with the silverlightdesktop. I could see this becoming super popular. Streamlining the install would help expand its appeal. I have had some time playing with it this weekend, and it's overly awesome. I have also started looking at the other silverlightdesktop pieces and have started making more and more work how I want them to in DNN. Already looking at launching a fan site for a game based off of it. To see how well things go over.
Thank you for the hard work.

Re: Introducing SilverlightDesktop for DotNetNuke
Believe me I DO understand how hard it is to make all those web.config changes and the Core is actively looking into the issue. Hopefully you felt it was worth the trouble :)

Re: Introducing SilverlightDesktop for DotNetNuke
Oh very much so, even with the config file changes it's worth seeing / playing around with. Can't wait to see more and more modules start coming out for it. So far the few some 50ish people I have showed it to said it was wonderful and want to see more modules. A chat style module would be nice to work out. Could throw a few notes up, chat with buds and send a couple emails, would make a nice "meet people page for a community / fan site" You know be chatting up, see a link come across copy past it into a notepad for later, then have someone chat hey email me. Then without moving away from the site drop the email into the To: and hit send. Bam instant gratification. :)
Once again though thanks a ton for all the hard work. You and your friends / team always do a wonderful job.
