Providing startup parameters for Silverlight

One of the things that makes Silverlight 2 great is the ability to create a very flexible framework application that others can use and can be embeddable with some dynamic properties.  This is the method used in the SL2 Video Player to provide a completely dynamic player that is portable.

How?  Using the initParams property of the plugin.  There are a few ways you can do this.  I’ve just uploaded a video demonstrating three of them:

• Creating App Resources
• Passing into the root visual constructor
• Using URI query string parameters

What?  Query string params?  Yep, the HTML bridge gives us a nice object model actually to inspect those parameters too.  Take a look at the latest video on the Silverlight community site!
