The Silverlight SDK for Bing provides an working sample control for Silverlight 3.0 that implements all the features of two additional assemblies, which together provide a rich set of user experience for consumption of Microsoft Bing search results.
he first component is a reusable framework extension to the Microsoft Silverlight Toolkit. This framework is designed to provide:
- Support controls for the sample Bing component
- A reusable view control toolkit for implementing and using some of the advanced data metaphors shown in the Bing search component.
- Components such as CloudView, TileView, BandCloudView and StackView can be used in any Silverlight application. All the controls in this assembly support theming and accessibility. All these controls are built on the same infrastructure as the Silverlight Toolkit Controls.
The second component is the Bing Silverlight service runtime itself - an assembly called Microsoft.Bind.Data. This assembly houses the service proxy for the Bing API, as well as a flexible interface contract for implementing search providers, and a concrete singleton implementation, called SearchEnvironmnent, for use in data binding and consuming results from Bing.
Requirements:
· Silverlight 3.0
