Silverlight

Dropped

I changed jobs, and browsers dropped support for the Silverlight plugin. So that's where my work with the technology ended too.

Using

Microsoft Silverlight is Microsoft's attempt at a "Flash alternative", done the .NET way:

  • the UI was described in XAML (just like in WPF);
  • the logic was written in C# or VB.NET;
  • it was a great fit for corporate portals.

We had several components for editing content and forms built on Silverlight.
