Embedding Fonts and File Upload in Silverlight 2

Is the silverlight upload example suitable for large file upload scenarios?

Font files can be very large. Do you know how we would do font subsets in Silverlight?

@DaveP:

The limit is currently set to 4096 Bytes = 4MB...
To change this you need to up the buffer in the application and insert the following in your web.config:

<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="8192" />

Just put in somewhere in the system.web tags... (Thats for 8 MB and it works just fine.. havent tried larger files yet...)

Hi Tim;

The font video is great. Two questions:
a) How do you add Fonts to Blend? If I try to to add it by using Add|Existing Item, In the dialog box, it opens the fonts, but does not add it to SL project?

b) Secondly, even if you add it via VS, how could a designer use that font in Blend without manually getting into Xaml code? I'm trying to let some users to choose the fonts in Blend.

Thanks!

Tim;

Let me alter my above question:

I can import a custom Font into Blend and use it, but if I go to Windows/fonts, I can not use any of those fonts. And those are the fonts that users use in Word. How can I use those?

Thanks!

Thank you Tim; BTW, I didn't get reply to the last email ;-)

Now, going to read your iPhone blog! Tim, What's the MSFT plans for writing SL apps for iPhone?

Tim:

>>Ben: i just played the video fine, are you using FF3 to play the videos?<<

Good catch! Just tried it on FF2 @ IE 7 works, but FF3, play for a second and stops. Today I was testing my site with FF3 and the Audio or video, plays for 1 second and stops. FYI

The iPhone info, you're right. I had forgotten about their plug in. But Apple is pushing devs hard to use their SDK, but I don't like their model of programming. .Net spoils you bad! ;-)

Thanks for getting back to me!

Tim, it's none of my business, but I think you should become a full time SL trainer using videos. It saves a lot of time than reading text and we can see exactly how they work. Your recent videos, just solved lots of problems for me. Tell Simon you just want to do videos... ;-)

Hi Tim,

Thanks a lot for your screen casts!
I've been watching a few of them and everytime it perfectly met my needs.

@WurzelGogerer :
Thanks for the tip about the maximum file size. Works a treat.

Keep up the good work

Hi Tim,

1 question :
How can we control that the file has be fully uploaded from the Silverlight app ?

What I would like is the class in the .ashx file to send a notice to my silverlight app that the file processing is finished.

Thanks again for your great videos

Hi everyone,

I have the same problem than Guillaume. I would like the server to send a callback to the client when the upload has finished providing information about the operation result, like when calling web services asynchronous operations from the Silverlight client. Is there any "completed" event or similar? Could be an alternative solution to use sockets to send the file and receive a callback from the server? Hope someone can help me.

Thanks,
Edu Moreno
