of all version of Internet Explorer, why 5? I do not think version 5 supports Silverlight. I think support for Silverlight starts only with version 6, but I would recommend the latest version – 8.

Hey, I came across this blog post while searching for help with Microsoft Silverlight. I have recently changed internet browser from Safari to Microsoft Internet Explorer 5. Now I seem to have a issue with loading websites that use Microsoft Silverlight. Every time I browse website that requires Microsoft Silverlight, the page doesn’t load and I get a “npctrl.dll” error. I cannot seem to find out how to fix it. Any aid getting Microsoft Silverlight to function is greatly appreciated! Thanks

Hi
I am not sure this forum is the best place to ask this question. There is a lot of info on the internet.
Anyways to figure out the Service Pack for VS, just go to Help menu and choose “About” option.

Great man,
Thanks!

You are de first who used the events on the Grid “LayoutRoot”. I see many peoples who used the events on the objects and not maked the test on the function
” foreach (UIElement element in elements)
{

if (element is Ellipse)”

I was looking for this. I will make an example based on your’s post in my blog(Portuguese).

Hi MavashiKid,
thanks for your remarks. I am a little out of date on my blog matters because I am working on a big Silverlight project.
Can you send an ftp or http url to download your code that does not work. I can try to figure out what is wrong.
Concerning the code update – I’ll try to post it within a week or two.

Hi,

I’ve tested your code, very interesting indeed…
I had to make some minor modifications in the code though.
As Rob Gibson said, the function HitTest is no longer supported by the Silverlight 2 RTM version (and the Silverlight 3 Beta also…)
so we have to use VisualTreeHelper class instead.

Example: In the SimpleDragAndDrop application the following line:

void LayoutRoot_MouseLeftButton(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
List element = (List)this.HitTest(e.GetPosition(null)); ….

will generate an error with Silverlight 2 RTM version
and should therefore be replace with:

void LayoutRoot_MouseLeftButton(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
{
IEnumerable elements = VisualTreeHelper.FindElementsInHostCoordinates(e.GetPosition(null), this);

in order to run properly.

I’ve also made the same type of modifications in the ListDragAndDrop application so that
the code no longer generates any errors during compilation. However when I run
the ListDragAndDrop application, the elements in the listbox “Box1″ just won’t respond to any behaviour… Strange…

I’m sure that any update of your code would be very much appreciated.
Thank you and keep on your ggod work.
