Opening a Silverlight dialog from the ribbon in Crm 2011

Question

Has anybody been able to open a Silverlight dialog by clicking on a button from the ribbon in Dynamics CRM 2011 (On-Premise) ? I understand that you can only call a javascript, html or outlook from the ribbon but haven't been able to launch even the html page generated in my Silverlight project.

Answer 1

You can open the Silverlight dialog directly from the ribbon in this way:

<Actions>
 <Url Address="$webresource:new_/SilverlightFromRibbonTestPage.html" PassParams="true"></Url>
</Actions>

Answer 2

Have you tried placing a window.open in your JScript that points to your Silverlight app?

window.open("http://www.MySilverlightUrl.com","MySilverlightApp");

I'm a little confused because you mention its a Silverlight dialog. Does this have any connection with the CRM 2011 dialogs (user-driven workflow) or just what you call the custom application?
