If at all we want to use cool Silverlight UI in the thick client application, would it be possible. If we concentrate on Windows forms only then there are few workaounds and answer to above-mentioned question is ‘Yes’.
The simplest thing to do is to use WebBrowser control on the Win Form and then let the browser control display the web pages using the Silverlight. Isn’t it simple to start with? And yes, it is also possible to have two way communications between the Windows Form application and the Silverlight application.
I also found on the net that few people have successfully used this approach on Linux as well with the help of go-mono of course.
Well, well, well….I am not finished yet….
Microsoft is also planning to launch a new MSN toolbar beta powered by Silverlight. Now, does that ring a bell in your mind? I am sure yes if not then please go through this blog one more time.
Cheers,
Amol
