trusted applications
• Silverlight 4 introduces the trusted application – only for out of browser applications – indicated by metadata setting in the XAP’s manifest
• different installation experience – can be verified (signed) or unverified – non verified applications do not auto update
• can be blocked by group policy settings
different types of Silverlight 4 apps
• relaxed sandbox for trusted applications – no network restrictions on ports and x-domain/x-scheme access
– operations which require user initiation or consent relaxed • e.g. go full screen, write to the clipboard, print, access the webcam or microphone, etc.
– open access to files in my [documents/videos/pictures/music]
– ability to access full file paths from file open/save dialogs
– access to the keyboard in full screen mode – window options – alter chrome and offer alternate move/resize options
COM interoperability
COM Object
IDispatch
must have a progId
• trusted applications can call to COM code – IDispatch interface only
– must be registered with a ProgId
• programmability is via late binding – dynamic in C#
– no IntelliSense or compile time checking
• no deployment mechanism – for existing code rather than new code
• COM is Windows only

extensible applications with MEF
• the Managed Extensibility Framework
– “an extensible framework for composing applications from a set of loosely-coupled parts discovered and evolving at run-time“ (mike)
• versions
– .NET Framework shipping with Silverlight 4
– .NET Framework 4 shipping with VS 2010
– Codeplex source for Silverlight 3 & .NET 3.5 Sp1
essential MEF
• MEF discovers exports via catalogs – several “in box” catalogs plus many extensibility points
– supports available exports changing at runtime
• and/or can be handed component instances
Compose
