Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device plug-in for delivering the next
generation of .NET based media experiences and rich internet applications (RIA) for the web.
Web-based applications have often represented a compromise between creating a high-quality, engaging user
interface (UI) and the amount of effort and time that a development team can put into the application. Most
web-based applications do not take full advantage of the capabilities of the user's computer to provide an
experience that users find not just functional, but exciting.
Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform implementation of the .NET Framework for building and
delivering the next generation of media experiences and RIAs for the web. Silverlight unifies the capabilities
of the server, the web, and the desktop, of managed code and dynamic languages, of declarative and traditional
programming, and the power of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). This platform that lets developers create
and deliver sophisticated, cutting-edge applications that users love.
Silverlight enables state-of-the-art applications with the following features:
