Silverlight
is a new technology from Microsoft. In simple words, Silverlight
is a browser plug-in for delivering .NET based media experiences and rich
interactive applications for the Web. Silverlight supports AJAX, VB, C#,
Python, and Ruby, and integrates with existing Web applications. You can relate
Silverlight to Adobe
Flash. Using Silverlight, we can develop eye catching layouts, images,
buttons, etc. In this article we will see some basic information regarding how
to create a Silverlight application using Microsoft Visual Studio Orcas. Also
for those who do not have Orcas, I have explained how to create and run a
Silverlight Application using Microsoft Silverlight Streaming Service which
provides us up to 4GB of storage space.
