API Helper Libraries - Silverlight
For Silverlight usage, we've made a Silverlight class library that abstracts away the low-level logic of making HTTP requests to the API and instead exposes higher-level classes and methods.
You can download this library along with our other helper libraries on
our libraries page. To use it, include
the Silverlight ZoomitWebApi.dll assembly
and add a reference to the
Microsoft.Zoomit namespace. Note
that we've included a separate build of this Silverlight library for
use on Windows Phone 7, but the usage remains the same.

}public static class Zoomit
{
public static IAsyncResult BeginGetContentInfo(
string id, AsyncCallback callback, object state);

Uri uri, AsyncCallback callback, object state);

IAsyncResult asyncResult, out ContentInfo content);
}Usage example
A simple usage example is below, but we recommend reading the Silverlight quickstart for more helpful guidance.
Uri uri = new Uri("http://example.com/");
Zoomit.BeginGetContentInfo(uri, asyncResult =>
{
try
{
ContentInfo content =
Zoomit.EndGetContentInfo(asyncResult);
// do something with content
}
catch (Exception e)
{
// do something with exception
}
}, uri);
