We are pleased to announce the launch of
SLightS3, a class library for use with Microsoft© Silverlight©. SlightS3 is
the first Silverlight class library that supports large file uploads directly to
an Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) cloud storage account with real-time
upload progress reporting. SlightS3 makes use of features new to Silverlight 4
that allow uploading of any size file to Amazon S3 without the use of a proxy
server to relay the uploads.
Uploading directly to S3 from the browser saves valuable bandwidth and disk
space while giving users the ability to upload large files. SLightS3 makes use
of streams so the entire file will never be cached into memory. The class
library can be included in any Silverlight 4 project and integrated with a
custom user interface. It supports the display of upload progress and allows the
developer to leverage the traditional .NET event model. Uploads are handled
asynchronously, meaning the upload does not block your user interface. The
library is available for a free 30 day trial download. Developer licenses are
available for purchase for a single domain name, with quantity discounts.
