  • Enhancing Client-side Capabilities

    SharePoint 2010 includes many new features to enhance the experience of end users. This lab will explore some of these and how Silverlight can play an integral role in making SharePoint more accessible and user-friendly.

  • Using the Silverlight Media Player Web Part

    A key component of Silverlight that people often use to improve their sites is the ability to play videos. While SharePoint Server includes a Media Web Part, it is only available on sites that have the Publishing Infrastructure enabled. This lab will introduce a web part that utilizes the same infrastructure as the Media Web Part, but requires only SharePoint Server - not the Publishing infrastructure. Along the way, we will look at scripting a Silverlight control using JavaScript.
