HitXP » Silverlight Drawing only using XAML tags without using Javascript or Dotnet Code

Is it possible to simply embed XAML tags in a webpage (just like how we embed HTML tags) and view it in browsers (which have silverlight installed and configured), without having to use any Microsoft.Net code or assembly or even javascript for that matter?

Yes it is definitely possible. Its by using inline XAML. Simply use the code below and you will be able to see the magic in your webbrowser. I am sure you can build upon it
