Chapter 5. Out-of-browser applications
This chapter covers
Out-of-browser (sometimes referred to as OOB) application support in Silverlight enables you to create a class of applications that combine the best of Silverlight web development with the great experience of a desktop application, all without installing an additional application or plug-in. If you want to enable out-of-browser and offline scenarios, need access to keys normally swallowed by the browser, or want more screen real estate, you can take advantage of the new OOB features. Best of all, the partial-trust, sandboxed, OOB applications are just as safe and secure as their browser-hosted versions, and they’re easier to install than typical desktop applications.
