Remarks

This class represents a helper, which is a component that simplifies Web programming in ASP.NET Web Pages.

When people play Microsoft Xbox games online, each user has a unique ID. Statistics are kept for each player in the form of a gamer card, which shows their reputation, gamer score, and recently played games. If you are an Xbox gamer, you can show your gamer card on pages in your site by using the GamerCard class.

Note

The GamerCard class requires the use of iframe elements, which are XHTML 1.0 compliant but not XHTML 1.1 compliant. HTML5 is backwards compatible and supports iframe elements, it does not yet include the scrolling and frameborder attributes. There is no CSS alternative for attributes that can be used on the page that contains the iframe element. Therefore, the markup that is rendered by the GamerCard object output is not currently fully HTML5 compliant.
