Display a Silverlight application

When a Lync SDK contextual conversation starts, the application registered with the appropriate GUID opens. A Web application opens in CWE, otherwise the application opens on the desktop. To display a Silverlight application in CWE, embed the application in an HTML page and register the HTML application.

For more information about displaying a Silverlight application in CWE, see How to: Create a Conversation Window Extension application in Lync SDK.

For more information about registering applications, see Register contextual conversation packages_Retired.

Access the Conversation object

In Lync SDK Silverlight applications, use the LyncClient.GetHostingConversation method to get the Conversation object that hosts CWE.

Conversation currentConversation = (Conversation) LyncClient.GetHostingConversation();
