16.2. Embedding Silverlight with the ASP.NET Silverlight Control
The ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions are controls that Microsoft added after the initial ASP.NET 3.5 release. This section discusses the ASP.NET Silverlight control that was available as a preview at the time of writing. Keep in mind that the ASP.NET team may change property names and other details in subsequent releases. Also, check occasionally at the official ASP.NET site at www.asp.net for a release version.
To download and install the ASP.NET Futures, follow these steps:
Locate the latest version of the Extensions by browsing to www.microsoft.com/downloads and searching for ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions.
Download the installer file to a temporary directory.
In Windows Explorer, double-click the filename and follow the installation prompts and security warnings.
After the installation finishes, create an ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions Web Site in c:\aspnet35ext\ (File
New Web Site
ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions Web Site).Open an ASP.NET page in Visual Web Developer and check whether the controls appear in a new ASP.NET 3.5 Extensions category in the Toolbox.
If you don't find the added controls, check the FAQ section at www.kencox.ca for the latest instructions on fixing up the Toolbox.
