What is an "island of richness"?
I'm looking on how to incorporate silverlight in my existing application and I keep running into the latest buzz-phrase "island o开发者_JAVA技巧f richness". What does it mean?
Thanks!
An island of richness is a (relatively) small area of rich, dynamic content (e.g. Silverlight, Flash, or heavy AJAX) on a page which is mostly regular HTML. It's as opposed to a page whose entire content is Silverlight-enabled.
So basically, it's when the page contains some Silverlight content, but that isn't the only content in the page.
It simply means that rather than having an entire webpage/site as a Silverlight application, you have small Silverlight apps for specific usage. Such as a media player, chat window, etc.
It means the content delivered by the Silverlight plugin is an island of rich user interface in a sea of less rich HTML.
If you take YouTube as an example (although it uses flash rather than silverlight) the video player is the "island of richness" in the rest of the page which is all HTML.
It means that you're hosting a silverlight plugin within an aspx page (or html/whatever). The plugin being the island of richness.
