I'm happy to announce that we are starting today a public beta-test program for the Lightstreamer Silverlight Client library.

An online demo is available for direct testing (follow the link, wait for the "Lightstreamer is pushing..." message to appear, then click the "Subscribe" button).

Feel free to download the Beta Silverlight SDK from the link below, then please report back to this thread any comments you may have.

Lightstreamer Silverlight SDK v.1.0.3391.21925 beta 2

Instructions
  1. Copy lightstreamer.jar to the lib folder of your Lightstreamer installation, overwriting the existing file.
  2. Copy the <silverlight_accesspolicy_enabled> and <silverlight_accesspolicy_path> elements from the new lightstreamer_conf.xml file to your existing conf/lightstreamer_conf.xml file.
  3. Follow the README.TXT files included in the Silverlight SDK.


Notes
  • The Silverlight client library for Lightstreamer implements the "Stream-Sense" feature, which allows the client to automatically switch from streaming mode to smart-polling mode whenever some anti-virus software is blocking the streaming connections.
  • Upon a disconnection, the client library does not automatically reconnect and does not automatically resubscribe to the current items. This feature is currently available for the JavaScript and ActionScript client libraries only, and not for the others (including Silverlight).


Enjoy!
