For Silverlight

HSS Interlink™, latest File Upload and Download Dialog control library for Silverlight that can be added to any Silverlight or ASP.NET web application. See the features list below for more details.

We are extended the beta period until May, but will add an RC release as part of the beta (within the same time period) that will be backwards compatible with SL4, so that our users that are not SL5 can enjoy the new benefits.


1/17/2012 - HSS Interlink v3.0 for Silverlight 5 now in beta. Get the bits from source control.
We will run beta until the end of February May so please download the source and provide any feedback.

Still to come - updated documentation, installer and a new Demo Application

Highlight of some of the new features:

  • Standalone UploadClient/DownloadClient - No UI so can be re-used in any appliation
  • Standalone UploadClient for Windows Azure Blob Storage 
  • Removed the dependency on a ChildWindow - main UI is now a UserControl
  • Now supports direct integration with Javascript/Html (see test project)
  • New Upload Manager to coordinate uploading one or more files
  • UploadFile (file row) can be sub-classed and re-templated as desired
  • UploadClient can be extended or replaced with your own custom client
  • Since all UI are controls, can easily be enhanced, re-templated and extended
