Chapter 5. Interacting with Rich Media and Animations
Note
This chapter is taken from Microsoft Silverlight 4 and SharePoint 2010 Integration (Chapter 6) by Gastón C. Hillar.
We want to take advantage of Silverlight 4 features to work with rich media and perform animations. In this chapter, we will cover many topics related to retrieving digital assets from SharePoint libraries through the SharePoint Silverlight Client Object Model and consuming them in a Silverlight RIA. We will:
Create and manage asset libraries in SharePoint 2010
Access the digital assets in a SharePoint library from a Visual Web Part and a Silverlight RIA
Create a SharePoint Visual Web Part that sends parameters and renders a Silverlight RIA
Link a SharePoint Visual Web Part to a Silverlight RIA
Add a SharePoint Visual Web Part in a web page
Work with multiple interactive animations and effects
Display and control videos
Add background music from the assets library
Change themes in Silverlight and SharePoint
