is "System.Windows.Browser" not supported in xbox lakeview adk?

Question

I'm trying to port my existing silverlight project to xbox Lakeview.

I got a compilation error saying "System.Windows.Browser" is not supported in ADK and in Microsoft.Xbox360.Adk.targets "System.Windows.Browser.dll" is listed as the unsupported assemblies.

I'm using APIs such as "System.Windows.Browser.HtmlPage" and "System.Windows.Browser.HttpUtility". How can I work around it?

Answer 1

LakeView is a profile of the .NET framework that is in accordance with Silverlight, but is not the same as the SL Runtime.

For instance, there is no "Browser" when running a LakeView app on your devkit. You have a special bootstrapped container in one process that your Title will be contained within, which makes it more like a full-fledged application running in a portable OS than a Silverlight application.

What are you trying to achieve with your interaction with the HTMLPage? Can you redirect your HttpUtility usage to the System.Net.WebUtility?

Answer 2

I'm not sure if you've gotten this figured out or not, but my version of the ADK I don't believe supports this namespace. If you would like to send me yours, I'd be more than happy to lend a hand in figuring out what's causing this issue.
