Silverlight property editor for a webpart
Hello, I created a Kentico webpart that has some complex properties. They are stored in XML format and therefore difficult to edit for end-users.

My question is how I can create and integrate a property editor that will make it easier for them. I would like to hide the XML field so they won't see it and just show a button that shows a popup window with a Silverlight app. That app will then allow them to set the values and will produce the XML string. Then, the Silverlight popup can contain a button that will store the XML into the webpart property and close itself.

Is this doable without special tricks? Does anyone have a sample or a startingpoint for me?

Any help will be appreciated,

TIA,
Jeroen

Hi,

You can use for example a Form control with the button as you need. After the button is submitted, the form control will pass required information to the sliverlight or flash and there you can process the data as you need to.
