Hi! I’m not so familiar with java script, i got the call to the web service working but how do i store the value from the web service in var result?, HelloWorld will be replaced with another method that returns different data depending on the input.

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {	        
            var result;
            HelloWorld();
            // How do if store the data in result before the next line of code is executed?             
            
            //doSomething with the result
    });

    $(document).ready(function () {
           var result2;
           HelloWorld();
           // How do if store the data in result2 before the next line of code is executed?               
           
           // doSomething with the result
    });    

    function HelloWorld() {
        Pagesettings.test(HelloWorldCallback);         
    }

    function HelloWorldCallback(result) {
        alert(result);
    }

</script>

Can someone help me, thanks!

found it it should be

$('#dialog').dialog({ position: [x,y])}

edit: you also need to convert to x,y variable to int with parseInt(x)

Hi! i use VS2010, and the SL project targets Silverlight 4 and .Net 4

Hi! i have a problem with ContentStringFormat i get an error The property 'ContentStringFormat' does not exist on the type 'ContentControl' in the XML namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation'. The example i follow uses this namespace, is there an other namespace i should use? Why do i get this error?

<UserControl
...
...
...
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation">

<StackPanel Margin="2,2,2,2">

<ContentControl Content="{TemplateBinding IndependentValue}"
ContentStringFormat="{}{0:MMMM d, yyyy}" />

<ContentControl Content="{TemplateBinding DependentValue}"
ContentStringFormat="Visits {0:###,###,###}" />

</StackPanel>

Ok, thanks i will look in to it :)

I am doing some string operations in the event(). but the problem still is: in the void event () i define 2 dynamic keys (in a property) depending on the input parameter to the service after i have done this i use the keys in the other method before calling the service again to retrive two other keys. but the methodcall_x(keys) is executed before the event is triggered and keys = null so i can't call the service again. class x { MAIN{ Servicecall() methodcall_x(keys) } viod the event(){save result to a property} }

Hi! New to silverlight, i have a problem. I have created a service to connect to a database and i want to call it many times, the problem is that string a and string b is executed before the event is triggered? in the event i have code that catches the result from the service and i want to save it to the string a and then call the same service again and save that result to string b. but i can't do that if the event isn't triggered each time any ideas on how to solve? main(){ serviceclient x = new serviceclient x.xxx_completed += the event x.getdataAsync(); string a; string b; } void event () { code to get data }

Hi, I have a java menu on the webpage that is partially hidden from the silverlight control that i have placed below. Is there a way to render the menu above the SL content?

Thank you! IsTabStop got the result i wanted :)

Hi! I have added a hyperlink in silverlight. But when i click on the link it displays a blue rectangular border for the size of the hyperlink control. The link opens a popup window, so this doesn't look so good on the webpage.

<HyperlinkButton x:Name="History"
Content="History"
Margin="0"
FontFamily="Arial"
FontSize="10.667"
Click="HistoryHyperlinkButton_Click"
Foreground="Black"
FontWeight="Bold" Background="{x:Null}" Cursor="Hand"
BorderThickness="0"
/>

Is there a way to disable this or have i missed somethink?
