content. WPF offers developers 2D and 3D
graphics support, hardware-accelerated effects,
scalability to different form factors, interactive
data visualization, and superior content

Silverlight Overview
Silverlight Overview
Silverlight is a powerful development platform for creating engaging, interactive user
experiences for Web, desktop, and mobile applications when online or offline. Silverlight is a
free plug-in powered by the .NET framework that is compatible across multiple browsers,
devices and operating systems to bring a new level of interactivity wherever the Web works.
With more than 100 controls, providing extensive layout and styling options, a powerful set of
communication protocols for fast, smooth customer experiences, robust data access and strong
support for high-definition media, Silverlight helps create visually rich experiences with backend
support for rapid development through the Microsoft Web Platform, Visual Studio and
Expression Studio.
Silverlight Runtimes
Both runtimes support rich media capabilities and enable fast, cost-effective delivery of high-
quality audio and video to all major browsers including Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer
running on the Mac or on Windows. The designer experience remains largely the same for both
runtimes as well. The main difference resides in the developer experience.

How Does Silverlight Work?
• Silverlight Framework
• This is a reduced framework (currently 7.62MB)
• Still a very rich set of framework objects (Generics, var, LINQ,COM,Print,web cam
etc.)
• Loads Silverlight app DLL client side (embedded resources)
• .NET code runs on client!
