Question

I am creating a player and I am very new in C# and Silverlight. In my App.xaml.cs I have this method that loads the parameter from XML.

  private void Application_Startup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e)
        {
            MainPage = new MainPage();
            this.RootVisual = MainPage;
            MainPage.mySMF.LoadInitParams(e.InitParams);
        }

Now in my main application which is at MainPage.xaml.cs I want to look for a certain InitParams value and if it is a certain value I want to do some task. How would I look for that value. I mean lets say that if I want it in my message box what would I write after
MessageBox.Show(???); or is there another way to do it?

Appreciate all help.

You can get the value of the InitParams collection at any time using the property:

Application.Current.Host.InitParams

InitParams is a Dictionary<string, string>, so if you want to print out the key/value pairs separated by commas, you can do something like this:

using System.Linq;

class Helper {
  public static string GetInitParamsString() {
    return String.Join(",", Application.Current.Host.InitParams.Select (item => item.Key + "=" + item.Value))
  }
}
