Integrating Multimedia
One of the primary marketing hooks for Silverlight is its ability to
stream media over the Web. Silverlight is able to do so using an
embedded media player so that the client system does not need to have a
player installed. This is a different approach from other media
technologies. Most media technologies require that the client has a
particular media player installed. With Silverlight, once the
Silverlight plug-in is installed all Silverlight features are
accessible, including media playback.
In an earlier module, we reviewed how to integrate multimedia into
an ASP.NET AJAX application through the use of the ASP.NET Futures
asp:Media control. The asp:Media control is an implementation of the
Silverlight <MediaElement> element. http://www.learn-silverlight-tutorial.com/StreamingMediaUsingSilverlight.cfm
