Question

I want to add a button to my user control in SilverLight 4.0 application which will open a new browser window with an aspx in it when it is clicked.

How can I achieve this, can you please advice?

Additionaly, can I lock the SL application until this new window is closed (Alike a modal dialog)?

thanks!

Answer 1

You can open a new window with:-

 HtmlPage.Window.Navigate(uriToNewPage, "_blank");

However modal dialogs depend on the specific browser that is hosting.
Internet Explorer and Firefox both have a showModalDialog method on their window objects. You would need to use the Invoke method to fire these:-

 HtmlPage.Window.Invoke("showModalDialog", urlString);
