According to the roadmap <http://www.mono-project.com/MoonlightRoadmap>,
moonlight 2.0 was released yesterday and should be compatible with SL 2.0
and can run SL 2.0 controls (e.g. old version of the SL toolkit).
In theory if you target your app for SL 2.0 (same version) and your user
doesn't have the plugin installed, MS will redirect them to the Novell site
and they should have a "similar" installation experience.
AFAIK there's no easy way to determine which plugin version is installed.
Probably the Silverlight.js script could help. However you might want to
provide a different option based on the user agent, you could do this server
side, but it's recommended to use the same file to check for the supported
browsers.
One option to get the version (I've never tried it, but might work) is to
try to create an instance using version 3 and if it fails try with v2.
Silverlight.createObject(
"ClientBin*/V3.xap*", // source
silverlightControlHost, // parent element
"slPlugin", // id for generated object element
{
width: "100%", height: "100%", background: "white",
version:"3.0.40624.0"
},
{ onError: *inspectErrorAndTryToLoadWithV2Xap*, onLoad: onSLLoad },
"param1=value1,aram2=value2",
"context" // context helper for onLoad handler.
);
