Silverlight 3 Local Communication API

Since “Silverlight Islands” become more and more common I made a sample which shows how such Islands can exchange data using the Silverlight 3 Local Communication API.

The sample is done in a “step by step manner”. Starting with the very basic layout of the page till extended communication handling you’ll find all the code in the sample.

The sample uses the telerik RadControls for Silverlight 3. The reason? These controls allow me to have some nice looking UI with very little need to style or code something.

You can download these controls (free trial version) from here

If you don’t want to use the telerik controls – no matter, with very little changes the sample works without them.

I also uploaded this sample to the telerik code library (in the Silverlight section).

As soon as it is screened you can download it from there.

Have fun
