Folks, my Silverlight 3 app is a lightweight version of a gigantic windows app written in C++, and the authors of that app want my SL3 app to simulate the "export" facility of its big brother, which sends data to the Clipboard, to a new browser window or to Office apps via automation.
I explained to them SL3 is mostly deaf, dumb and blind on the client machine, and as far as I know the only way it can talk to the client is by invoking JavaScript methods. I see that SL4 can work with the Clipboard, but it will be several weeks or more before I migrate up to VS2010, Framework 4 and SL4. I'm already calling JavaScript methods in the browser for trivial purposes, so I can pass huge strings of XML into JavaScript methods as well. I'm not up-to-date with JavaScript and I was wondering if it has any power act as a kind of trusted intermediary to allow the SL3 app to send XML to the Clipboard, browsers or automated Office apps. Has anyone done this sort of thing? In the meantime I'll keep web searching for articles on this matter. Greg
