Question

I want to add Silverlight in my win ce . Can anybody tell how to add the Silverlight application?
And what are the thing I want to add in the catalog menu. Please tell me the steps for this.

Answer 1

You first need to install Windows CE 6 R3 (look at the Required Software section to understand the installation order - it is critical).

You need to look for XAML in the catalog and add those items that suite you. Mainly, you need SYSGEN_XAML_RUNTIME. Now you just need to do a Sysgen and you have Embedded Silverlight included.

To include the sample you need to add SYSGEN_SAMPLEXAMLPERF. It is not in the catalog so add it through a batch file or in a command-line build window. (You can read more here)

You can read Silverlight for Windows Embedded tutorial for a tutorial on a Embedded Silverlight application. This post explains how to add an Embedded Silverlight subproject to a current OSDesign.

Read this for instructions to setup a project without Platform Builder. If you follow these instructions you can setup the same project that is described in the above tutorial, but use a regular smart device project without platform builder.
