I am trying to call a function from a Silverlight application. It should be a very simple task to do but so far I am not getting the result that I am looking for.

This is my Silverlight code:

    private void button2_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        HtmlPage.Window.Invoke("SayHello", new string[] { "Salut!" });
    }

And this is the JavaScript code :

   function SayHello(theid) {
        alert(eval(theid));
        var divStatusDiv = document.getElementById("divStatus");
        divStatusDiv.style.backgroundColor = "Red";
    }

The alert message always show "undefined" but when I press "OK" the colour of that DIV gets changed to Red as it should be.

Why am I getting "Undefined" all the time ?

You need to create the json that can be passed properly instead of just passing along an array like that. You can simply return "Salut!" instead of new string[] { "Salut!" } or you can create the json array for the string array you have.

I'm not familiar with Silverlight, but if theid has value "Salut!" inside of SayHello, then you cannot eval it, since it is a string of text, not code. You should change the line alert(eval(theid)); to just alert(theid);.

Use 

alert(eval(theid.value));
