Providing startup parameters for Silverlight

I was just think about this yesterday, look like you did the thinking for me, think you

Tim;

I have been thinking about one issue and I hope you find the time to write or video on this subject. The subject is Deep Linking where a SL application out of the box does not offer such a functionality. For example if I write an app that has many User controls that one call another and another and so on. But suppose a user wants to bookmark a particular location or send a link to someone about a specific section of the app, they have no way of doing that.

Recently, I saw a great sample app from telerik where they perform Deep Linking in there where as you go from one section to another, you can see the URL changes and shows how deep you have gone, just like a web site. The nicer thing is that, you can save any of those URL, and then be be able to jump right into it. This is very, very important to convince companies to walk away from the traditional web site without loosing too much control. I hope, at some point MSFT will build this right into the system or at least give a framework to use, but meanwhile, I was wondering if you can a head start how to do this properly.

Thank you for your help.

Nice video, Tim. I hadn't thought of using the HTML bridge to get QueryString. I like that.

Your audio in these screencasts is so clear. Are you using a headset? If so, which one? I've done a couple of screencasts now and I am not happy with the audio at all. I'm on twitter as KevinHazzard if you want to reply that way.

Thanks,

Kevin

The video was very informative, thanks. The updates of Silverlight in the video is also illuminating because it highlights what has happened in Silverlight. - Unilife Alan Shortall
