How do I add the like facebook button to a silverlight application?

I'm new to silverlight 4 development. I need the facebook I like button to be integrated integrated on my website application?
Can someone tell me how to do that?

Can I download a library that will provide me a user control that is visible in my toolbox, and thus I will be able to just drag and drop this item on my page? If not, how can I implement this functionality?

Solution

  • You can just download a like button image from here and use the Facebook SDK to like the page.
    I haven't tried it myself but it should be possible.
    Another approach will be to use the Javascript API and call it from silverlight.
