WP7 - How to embed my xap in a webpage

Question

I have made a Windows Phone 7 app and I would like to embed it in a webpage.

I found two examples to help explain what I want to do:

http://www.lifewaresolutions.com/deluxe_moon_demo_wp7.html

http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgismobile/10.0/apis/WindowsPhone/samples/start.htm

I have looked at the page sources for both of these websites and have tried to mimic what they have down, but the farthest I have gotten is a webpage with a silverlight app in the middle, but my app doesn't start.

I am not that familiar with web development, but if someone could help me create a simple html page with my wp7 app embedded in it, that would be great.

Answer 1

The Silverlight desktop computer plugin can't execute Windows Phone Silverlight apps.

The two example websites embed a "classic" Silverlight app within a fake Windows Phone chrome.

So basically what you can do to have something similar is:

• Create a new Silverlight 4 "classic" project
• Implement your app (you can share code between the new project and your existing WP7 code)
• Retemplate the controls to make them look like the Windows Phone ones
• Embed the app within a WP7 chrome on a website
