Introduction
Recently, I'm interested in a very amazing technology called
Silverlight, and I'm trying to learn it because it's very powerful.
Actually Silverlight have 2 versions:
-
Silverlight 1.0 release
- Silverlight 2.0 beta1
The difference between 1.0 and 2.0b1 is quite big:
- Support .NET language on client side (C#, VB.NET,..) instead of JavaScript
- A lot of controls from WPF
- Subset of framework 3.5 (Linq, ...)
For a complete list of differences see here
Unfortunately, to easily use Silverlight 2.0 beta1 is necessary
Framework 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008 personal or above. My idea is to
integrate a Silverlight control into an ASP.NET Ajax control, but it's
seem quite difficult without Visual Studio 2008. For this reason I
integrated a Silverlight 1.0 control into ASP.NET Ajax control using
Visual Studio 2005.
Background
Normally when I start to learn a new technology I always try to
implement a very simple example, but to make all more interesting,
normally I implement a complete application or game.
When I was a child and there were no computers at home, I spent a
bit of my free time playing with a game called Fifteen Puzzle. It's a
very simple game but not absolutely easy to solve at the begin.
