Silverlight OverviewHow does silverlight work?• Rich Internet Application Architecture

• Rich Internet Applications (RIA’s) combine the maturity, stability and scalability of service orientation with state of the art display technology to create the next wave of web based distributed applications.

• RIA is typically delivered either by way of a site-specific browser, via a browser plug-in. Adobe Flash, Java and Microsoft Silverlight are currently the three top frameworks that apply RIA.

• Silverlight Application Architecture• Silverlight architecture is based on eXtensible Application

Markup Language (XAML) which is XML based that what makes Silverlight cross-platform cross-browser plug-in.

• XAML provide a unified way to declare graphics, media, animation, text and layout.
