SILVERLIGHT ISSUES CODE

I am using MS Lightswitch, which allows me to publish both in-browser and desktop versions of the app without any code changes, so i tend to do both for the ones that needs certain desktop specific features that is tricky in the browser (i.e. My solution? Make it in-browser, as in users get a web link to the app either on their desktop (which will open IE) or in their IE favorites.

In both cases user will still be able to hit the app and install, but the second time you publish with a different case, then i've found some issues, especially in terms of the app disappearing and not being updated on end user PC. For security reasons new builds of Microsoft Office for Microsoft 365 on Windows block activation of Flash, Silverlight, and Shockwave controls.

Īlso, assuming you publish to an IIS server, i noticed the web address you use is actually case sensitive, i.e. Especially when the updates from the server goes wrong then above mentioned things happen (icons going missing or icon is there but points to wrong/non-functional version / application just gone etc). I've had similar of issues with this, but not so that i would feel concerned, primarily it is to do with updates (of the app itself) and certificates (when i'm using them). is running and click on 'remove this application' but when you do it that way, the icon is removed as well.Īnybody running in to similar problems ? Any advice ? because you can right-click while the app. It is easy to accidentally remove the OOB app. A re-install of the application gives the same problem unless Silverlight is uninstalled and re-installed first.ģ) Something removes the application from the computer, the client will swear that they did not remove the application, typically the application does not show under 'programs and features' anymore but the icon remains on the desktop.

Checking 'program and features' shows that the application is still installed.Ģ) Automatic Updates (Silverlight) seems to break the application on some computers (let's say typically four out of the 120 instances typically break after each minor SL update). I keep on running in to the following problems:ġ) Application icon dissapears, sometimes it is simply a matter of a person having moved the icon, typically to the documents folder (I suspect by accident) but often the icon is just gone and the client swears they did not delete it. I have an Out of Browser application running on about 120 clients throughout the country.
