SharpDevelop Community

Hello dear developers,
Im currently using SD4(Beta2) and obviously I just can create a Silverlight-Project using Silverlight SDK 3.
Will it be possible using Silverlight SDK 4 in RTW-Version?
Thanks much in forward
Martin

Edit: I took a closer look at the SilverlightApplication.xpt - File of Ivan Shumilin. Is it correct that I just need to edit this file (or write a new one) to target Silverlight 4?

Yes that should probably be enough to get SharpDevelop to target Silverlight 4. The <TargetFrameworkVersion> would need to change to 4.0 and the $(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\Silverlight\v3.0\Microsoft.Silverlight.CSharp.targets will probably need to change to point to the v4.0 Silverlight targets file.

Thanks much for your answer, Matt.
So far all is fine, and I changed the template for use with SDK 4.
Still I have with both versions a big problem: They compile fine and produce also a Testpage and a .xap-file, but the Silverlight-Output is allways just a white area (as if I wouldnt change anything in MainPage.xaml). Even just changing the color of the Grid or drawing a simple Rectangle doesnt work.
I know, thats not much info, but has somebody an idea (what I do wrong or what is missing)?

There seems to be a problem with the template. I get the same results as you do. The generated project does not seem to work. Looking at a project created with Visual Studio they are slightly different, but it is not immediately obvious why one works and the other does not.

Thank you, Matt.
Maybe somebody can see the mistake below, its the template for SDK4, I also formatted the "original" for SDK3 a bit, but the mistake should be the same.

Finaly I found the solution! :) (after hours of searching)

The template is ok, but in the Project-Options it targets 32-bit-Processor, and thats what he dislikes. Changing it to AnyProcessor will solve the problem! (How to insert the AnyProcessor-Option to the template?)

So the final and working Silverlight 4 Template (fresh formatted, but without the Processor)

Hi

Did you find out how to change the processor type to any? I am having the same problem

Thanks Bruce

I am trying to build a OOB application using Silverlight & SharpDevelop. I added this portion of code to my AppManifest.xml.

    <Deployment.ApplicationIdentity>
        <ApplicationIdentity
            ShortName="Out of Browser Silverlight Application"
            Title="Window Title of Your Silverlight Application">
            <ApplicationIdentity.Blurb>Description of your Silverlight application</ApplicationIdentity.Blurb>
        </ApplicationIdentity>
    </Deployment.ApplicationIdentity>

However, I didn't get OOB support. I also tried to copy the OutOfBrowserSetting.xml that has been created in VS2010. But both way don't work.

OOB is working fine in VS2010 and I am wondering if we could achieve this in SharpDevelop.

I am assuming that you mean you cannot run your Silverlight application out of browser from inside SharpDevelop.

Visual Studio uses C:\Program Files\Microsoft Silverlight\sllauncher.exe to run the Silverlight application out of browser. SharpDevelop does not currently support this. I tried to change the project options to run this Silverlight launcher instead but it seems that SharpDevelop will always run the test html page if your project is a Silverlight application. The only way I could get it to work was to create a new external tool.

Command line parameters:

/overwrite
/emulate:"d:\projects\SilverlightApplication1\Bin\Debug\SilverlightApplication1.xap"
/origin:"file:///d:/projects/SilverlightApplication1/Bin/Debug/SilverlightApplication1.xap"
debug

Unfortunately you don't seem to be able to debug the Silverlight application if you attach to the sllauncher process.

hello,

Just to tell you this solution (setting the target processor to "any cpu") also worked for me.

Here is how to do:

-Display your Silverlight application project's properties.

-Under the 'compiling' tab, set the 'target CPU' to 'Any CPU'.  Remark: maybe due to a display bug, I first could not access that option, because it was not visible in the displayed part of the window, and no vertical scrollbar was present.  I had to enlarge the project properties window high enough to be able to see it.

My symptoms were:

Chrome displayed a blank page, but no error message (maybe it was simply not configured to, but then it is because the default settings of this browser don't show these errors)

IE6 displayed a blank page, and a Javascript error saying: 

Unhandled Error in Silverlight Application

Code: 2105

Category: InitializeError

Message: Failed to load pre-requisites for the application

Hopes this helps someone in the future

Thanks, you solved my problems! There is any plan when this bug will be fixed?
