The system supports Silverlight for rewriting for:

- **Sharepoint 2010** - only the default Silverlight pages on Sharepoint 2010
- **OWA 2010** - including file attachments in e-mails

The system does not support custom XAP packages (custom Silverlight applications that a user can upload to a Sharepoint site).

No configuration steps are required for Silverlight support.

To support Silverlight on Sharepoint 2010, a system-generated rewriting resource policy is added for ActiveX with the following details:

:::Paragraph{indent="1"}
Classid= DFEAF541-F3E1-4C24-ACAC-99C30715084A
:::

:::Paragraph{indent="1"}
Parameter= initParams\:mediaSource,previewImageSource
:::

:::Paragraph{indent="1"}
Action= Rewrite URL and response (Static HTML only)
:::

:::Paragraph{indent="1"}
This policy is loaded during both upgrades and new installations. Do not remove this resource policy.
:::

:::Paragraph{indent="1"}
The colon (:) in the above Parameter field means the object tag contains the initParams parameter followed by comma separated name-value pairs.
:::

:::Paragraph{indent="1"}
For example, the above policy works for the following tag:
:::

:::Paragraph{indent="1"}
`<param name="initParams" value="mediaSource=/silverlight/media/Wildlife.wmv,previewImageSource=/silverlight/image/VideoPreview.png" />`
:::
