[Solved] A SL Blog request

[Ben Hayat]

I saw the "Deep Linking" first on the telerik SL sample when I asked Valentin how the URL was changing.

I was wondering if one of the telerik team members would be kind enough to write a blog with some samples to show how Deep Linking is and should be done.

Thank you in advance!

Valentin;

Thanks for the link; I knew you guys are ahead of my thinking ;-)

Do we have to use JS in order to control the browser's bookmark? Can it be done directly from managed code in the Silverlight application?

Secondly, are you aware if MSFT will build Deep Linking into SL framework?

Thank you for the link!

Hello Ben,

You do not need JS in order to parse the URL and to get the bookmark:
Here is a code snippet that does this:

int

tmp = HtmlPage.Window.CurrentBookmark.IndexOf("Examples/");
if (tmp > -1)
{
     string examplePath = HtmlPage.Window.CurrentBookmark.Substring("Examples/".Length);
....


>> Secondly, are you aware if MSFT will build Deep Linking into SL framework?
No - we have not heart anything from MS for including this functionality into the framework.
