Silverlight Tips of the Day - Introduction

About Silverlight

Silverlight 2 is a phenomenal framework for developing rich applications for the web. It includes a cross-platform, cross browser version of the .NET Framework. While it excels at displaying high-definition video files, it is very versatile and can be used for a wide range of Internet applications including, as we will explorer here, computer games. Silverlight applications are delivered to a browser through a markup language called XAML. For the most part, XAML is where you will define your UI elements as well as do your data binding and event handling. Your programmatic logic is separated in code-behind files that you can choose to write in either C# or VB.

About Silverlight Tools

Silverlight Tools is an add-on available for Visual Studio 2008 Standard version or above. It enables you to create, build, debug, publish and run Silverlight Applications through Visual Studio. It also supports interaction with Microsoft Expression Blend.
