Silverlight is a new cross-browser, cross-platform implementation of the .NET Framework for building and delivering the next generation of media experiences and Rich Interactive Applications(RIA) for the web. It runs in all popular browsers, including Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera. The plugin required to run Silverlight is very small in size hence gets installed very quickly.

It is combination of different technolgoies into a single development platform that allows you to select tools and the programming language you want to use. Silverlight integrates seamlessly with your existing Javascript and ASP.NET AJAX code to complement functionality which you have already created.


Silverlight aims to compete with Adobe Flash and the presentation components of Ajax. It also competes with Sun Microsystems' JavaFX, which was launched a few days after Silverlight.

You can not compare them. Just like AJAX, it is just an enhancement in the .net. Silverlight enables development of the next generation of Microsoft .NET-based media experiences and rich interactive applications (RIAs) for the Web. Silverlight is delivered as a cross-platform and cross-browser plug-in that exposes a programming framework and features that are a subset of the .NET Framework and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF).

Silverlight opens up a ton of opportunities to build significantly richer client experiences that run cross platform and cross browser.
Silverlight used in XAML language..ASP.NET didnt support XAML language.

Some of the main features in silver light.

1.Built-in codec support for playing VC-1 and WMV video, and MP3 and WMA audio within a browser.
2.Silverlight supports the ability to progressively download and play media content from any web-server.
3.Silverlight also optionally supports built-in media streaming.
4.Silverlight enables you to create rich UI and animations, and blend vector graphics with HTML to create compelling content experiences.
5.Silverlight makes it easy to build rich video player interactive experiences.

Should the user interface be created with ASP.NET or Flash? .NET Framework Until today I've developed my application with ASP.NET 2.0 and SQL Server 2005. I need to incorporate a lot of maps with to a street, to a building) and I wonder if this should be done in ASP.NET or in Flash? I've had a meeting today with some Flash developers and they happened to think it should be done in Flash or something called Adobe Air. According to them a lot of the future application development will be done in php etc. I'm confused because I'm not very familiar with anything else than ASP.NET. Can someone please give me some wise words? Best regards, S ASP.NET Discussions
