Other than having used single quotes (') rather than double quotes (") for the src attribute, what is your problem here? Have you had an error occur? If so what? Or does it jsut not display the iFrame?

Silverlight does not support hosting HTML (like WPF's Frame element) but that should not be a blocker. There's another way to achieve this.

The basics are to make sure the Silverlight control is hosted with the isWindowless parameter enabled and then you can at runtime through the HtmlPage class create an IFRAME element and set the src attribute to the HTML page location.

As the follow up, here is the source code sample, you can insert an <iframe> tag in your aspx or html page:

XML

<iframe id="ifHtmlContent" style="position:absolute"/>

Then you can use this object from your Silverlight code using the HTML-DOM bridge:

C#

System.Windows.Browser.HtmlElement myFrame = System.Windows.Browser.HtmlPage.Document.GetElementById("ifHtmlContent");
if (myFrame != null) 
{
     myFrame.SetStyleAttribute("width", "1024");
     myFrame.SetStyleAttribute("height", "768");
     myFrame.SetAttribute("src", txtURI.Text);
     myFrame.SetStyleAttribute("left", "0");
     myFrame.SetStyleAttribute("top", "50");
     myFrame.SetStyleAttribute("visibility", "visible"); 
}
