Gets the initialization parameters that were passed as part of HTML initialization of a Silverlight plug-in.
(in System.Windows.dll)
Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public ReadOnly Property InitParams As IDictionary(Of String, String)
Get
Dim instance As StartupEventArgs
Dim value As IDictionary(Of String, String)
value = instance.InitParams
public IDictionary<string, string> InitParams { get; }
The initialization parameters are passed as the initParams parameter when you embed the Silverlight plug-in in a Web page. For more information, see Integrating Silverlight with a Web Page.
The input format of this parameter starts as a single string with individual parameters delimited using a comma (,), and keys delimited from values using an equal sign (=). For example, "key1=value1,key2=value2,key3=value3". The delimiters are processed so that this API can provide them as a dictionary.
You can also access the initialization parameters through the InitParams property.
The following example code demonstrates how to use this property.
Private Sub Application_Startup(ByVal o As Object, _
ByVal e As StartupEventArgs) Handles Me.Startup
Dim p As New Page
Me.RootVisual = p
' This assumes that Page.LayoutRoot exists and is a StackPanel.
Dim layoutRoot As StackPanel = p.LayoutRoot
' Display the custom initialization parameters.
For Each key As String In e.InitParams.Keys
layoutRoot.Children.Add(New TextBlock With { _
.Text = String.Format( _
"from InitParams: {0} = {1}", _
key, e.InitParams(key))})
Next
' Display the URL parameters.
For Each key As String In HtmlPage.Document.QueryString.Keys
layoutRoot.Children.Add(New TextBlock With { _
.Text = String.Format( _
"from QueryString: {0} = {1}", key, _
HtmlPage.Document.QueryString(key))})
Next
End Sub
private void Application_Startup(object sender, StartupEventArgs e)
{
Page p = new Page();
this.RootVisual = p;
// This assumes that Page.LayoutRoot exists and is a StackPanel.
StackPanel layoutRoot = p.LayoutRoot;
// Display the custom initialization parameters.
foreach (String key in e.InitParams.Keys)
{
layoutRoot.Children.Add(new TextBlock() {
Text = String.Format(
"from InitParams: {0} = {1}", key,
e.InitParams[key])
});
}
// Display the URL parameters.
foreach (String key in HtmlPage.Document.QueryString.Keys)
{
layoutRoot.Children.Add(new TextBlock()
{
Text = String.Format(
"from QueryString: {0} = {1}", key,
HtmlPage.Document.QueryString[key])
});
}
}
