Creating & calling javascript function through silverlight event

Hi,

In silverlight you can run javascript directly by using:

HtmlPage.Window.Invoke();

/Carl.

you can store the script into a string in the first event you want to create it and then where you want to invoke it you can do
System.Windows.Browser.HtmlPage.Window.Eval(script);

I tried the following statement and got the following error:

  HtmlPage.Window.Eval("<script>alert('Print Job finished!');</script>");


System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled by user code
  Message=Microsoft JScript compilation error Syntax error
  StackTrace:
       at System.Windows.Browser.HtmlWindow.Eval(String code)
       at SilverlightNavigationApplicationTest.MainPage.button2_Click(Object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
       at System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.ButtonBase.OnClick()
       at System.Windows.Controls.Button.OnClick()

       at MS.Internal.JoltHelper.FireEvent(IntPtr unmanagedObj, IntPtr unmanagedObjArgs, Int32 argsTypeIndex, Int32 actualArgsTypeIndex, String eventName)
  InnerException:

I tried adding the type and got the following error:

  HtmlPage.Window.Eval("<script type='text/javascript'>alert('Print Job finished!');</script>");

If I add the javascript function to my master page and use this it works.

   HtmlPage.Window.Invoke("CreatePrinterScript", null);

My issue is that I can’t write the javascript function to the master page.

I’ve even tried creating a Scriptable Managed Type with no success.

The HtmlPage.Window.Eval(yourscript) worked. The reason it wasn't working before for me was because I was building the javascript string with the <script> tags and the function declaration.
I tested it first with HtmlPage.Window.Eval("alert('Test!');") It succeeded so it was a matter of stripping the headers from the code and testing again by passing my string var, HtmlPage.Window.Eval(JScript)

And this worked. So thanks.
