There is no "serving off the silverlight platform" - Deep Zoom stuff can be hosted on any plain old server that can host jpgs and xml files.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, C# <I>is</I> available on the iPhone - via the Mono *nix version of .NET and the <A HREF="http://unity3d.com/" REL="nofollow">Unity3D framework</A> (not to be confused with <A HREF="http://www.codeplex.com/unity" REL="nofollow">Unity</A>)... really only for games developers right now, but <A HREF="http://tirania.org/blog/" REL="nofollow">Miguel</A> has hinted at "precompiled Moonlight" applications coming to iPhone one day!Craig Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09377896535933926653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621561.post-54939849700563221932009-02-10T02:27:00.000-08:002009-02-10T02:27:00.000-08:00Does the sea dragon iphone app actually use silver...Does the sea dragon iphone app actually use silverlight? I'm guessing that it's served off the silverlight platform, but not necessarily running on a silverlight client??<BR/>Excuse the ignorance, I'm just figuring this whole thing out!!timharperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15274352187131416708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621561.post-66514496352331097672008-12-26T08:52:00.000-08:002008-12-26T08:52:00.000-08:00Thanks so much for the help Craig :) I will try th...Thanks so much for the help Craig :) I will try this myself later this week. Looks like there is some tools and apps to do Photosynting so I wil also make room for a windows installation. It by the way the first reason for me to do windows on my mac.
