Deploying with Silverlight 2.0
-
Hi, We've developed an app that uses Silverlight (mostly plays videos). We're using VS 2008. The app runs fine when launched from VS 2008. When we publish to a website using VS 2008, and launch the page, the page does not display any SL controls. Right-clicking on the page simply display the right-click menu with 'Silverlight Configuration'. What are we missing? Do you need to install any server compnents for Silverlight? We have installed the plug-in for the browser. We'd like to go live with this end of May. Thanks. Shefali

Have you registered MIME type for xap? You need to do that if you are using IIS.

Is it the correct version?

AFAIK, Silverlight 2 beta1 can't be used for commercial application. You will need to wait Silverlight 2 beta2 that will be released with Go-Live commercial license.

Michael, Thanks. About going live, please see http://silverlight.net/GetStarted . Its says: "Microsoft recommends companies begin to experiment and build with the Beta to ensure applications can be deployed on subsequent releases, there is also a Go-Live license available for Silverlight 2 Beta 1 for early adopters." So, I think we're OK deploying with SL2 beta 1. Thanks. Shefali

I know you will say like that because we have some discussions about that in Silverlight forum.. Based on what MS guy said, it's not allowed to use it for commercial application... Ref: Ashish from Microsoft said[^] ~ When is Silverlight 2 - final version expected to be released? We are targeting late Summer Here is a rough timeline: Silverlight 2.0 Beta 1 (Q1CY08 with limited (non commercial) Go-Live) Silverlight 2.0 Beta 2 (Q2CY08 with Go-Live) Silverlight 2.0 RTM (Summer 2008) – Exact timing TBD Silverlight v.next – We are working on a v.Next plan and have nothing to announce at this time Silverlight for mobile – No date available Tom Taylor from Microsoft Silverlight team said,[^] The license in the current version of Silverlight 2 (beta 1) does not allow for commerical use. This will change for Silverlight Beta 2, and obviously for the final release. So, you decide! :) I'm just sharing something that I got from MS guys....
