This is part 2 of the A Silverlight Bing API Web Application walk-through. After the jump some Silverlight information, server side code and screen-shots of the application.
Today I have been developing a Silverlight Rich Internet application which utilizes the Microsoft Bing API. To be honest I have never used Silverlight to develop an application before (typically web applications: ASP.net and desktop client applications: Win-Forms). After viewing some of the Silverlight video tutorials I decided to dive straight into development. After viewing some of Microsoft Bing if you haven’t heard of it is Microsoft’s search engine site, in many ways similar to Google.
This is part 1 of a 2 part post about developing a Silverlight application using the Bing API.
Please see this post to see screen-shots and server side code needed to implement this small application.
More info after the jump, including JSON and API usage.
In this post I will describe how to request a small text file from the server and display its content inside a ASPX page, using server side logic along with the Microsoft Ajax toolkit to provide a more interactive experience for the user. Please see my earlier post on the toolkit for more information.
