Silverlight Introduction

� Another technology for creating RIAs

� Plug-in, similar to Flash

� Cross-platform, cross-browser, open standard

� Comfortable for desktop/server developers

� Program in C#/VB/Python/Ruby

� Can run out-of-browser too

� User interfaces are declared in Extensible ApplicationMarkup Language (XAML)

� Silverlight can also be used to create Windows Sidebar

gadgets for Windows Vista



Silverlight Processing Model

� Silverlight works much like Javascript

� Gets loaded with the page (html or aspx).

� A parse tree that mirrors the Xaml is built and

rendered

� Events, like the button click, are processed by

bindings between a silverlight control (the button) and

an event handler.

� This works just like Javascript events, with nopostback to the server.
