What does Silverlight enable in SharePoint Online?

•A Web Part can be a host for Silverlight•SharePoint ships with Silverlight web part• Need only build a Silverlight control or app

•The web part can contain custom properties that are sent to Silverlight via the InitParameters property•The XAP file can be deployed to a SharePoint Online document library•The Silverlight application can then make use of the Client OM to access SPOnline data.• Programs running on the client can add and remove lists, add, update, and delete

list items, modify documents in document libraries, create sites, manage permissions of items, add and remove web parts from a page, and much more.

Silverlight provides the opportunity for developers to create the next generation of Rich Internet Applications (RIAs). SharePoint Online integrates closely with Microsoft Silverlight to enable you to build compelling user interfaces that interact with SharePoint Online data.

Silverlight

35


The Client Object Model

What does the client object model enable?

• Abstraction layer• Results returned as recognisable SharePoint objects

Provide powerful ways to interact with SharePoint Online data remotely from script that executes in the browser – providing access to objects at the site-collection level and lower within the SharePoint hierarchy.

• .NET• ECMAScript• Silverlight

Consistent developer experience across platforms
