interaction b/w silverlight and javascript for Out of browser applications!

Question

Hello.

I did not find any post or tutorial related to the topic mentioned above.

Basically, I am have a page viewed in webbrowser control.

the page is a form . if the form is submitted successfully I get transfer to success page(using HttpContext.Current.Server.Transfer) and if I get transfered to that page , I would like some javascript , Silverlight interaction to let the Silverlight application know that the form is submitted successfully.

thanks

Jamal.

P.S

One way I thought was that, I would check the source of the webbrowser control from the SL app. but source property of webbrowser is not getting updated , if the page gets browsed to some other page from within the page using some hyper link or so.

put following javascript on that page, this will notfiy your WebBrowser control in Silverlight, that the form is submitted successfully, I would suggest using Response.Redirect rathar than Server.Transfer.

    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" >
        window.external.notify('Your text to pass to Silverlight');
    </script>

Register the ScriptNotify event of WebBrowser control in Silverlight..

Xaml:

    <WebBrowser x:Name="myWebBrowser" ScriptNotify="myWebBrowser_ScriptNotify" ></WebBrowser>

Code Behind:

    private void myWebBrowser_ScriptNotify(object sender, NotifyEventArgs e)
    {
        string response = e.Value; // e.Value will be "Your text to pass to Silverlight"
    }
