Beginning Silverlight 2.0 Development using Visual Studio 2008

(Page 1 of 6 )

This is my first article in a series focusing on Silverlight 2.0 (beta 2) development using Visual Studio 2008. This article is for beginners who are quite new to Silverlight development and need a practical introduction to developing Silverlight applications using Visual Studio 2008.

My development machine is equipped with the following environment before installing any Silverlight-related software or tools:

• Windows Server 2003 with SP2

• IIS

• Visual Studio 2008 (comes with .NET 3.5) with SP1

Before you start, you should have following installed on your machine:

Microsoft Silverlight Tools Beta 2 for Visual Studio 2008 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=50A9EC01-267B-4521-B7D7-C0DBA8866434&displaylang=en )

The above mainly installs the following (beta 2):

• Silverlight 2

• Silverlight 2 SDK

• Silverlight Tools for Visual Studio 2008

The entire source code for this article is available in the form of a free downloadable zip file. The solution was developed using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Edition (with SP1) on Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition with Silverlight 2.0 Beta 2. I didn’t really test it in any other environment. I request that you post in the discussion area if you have any problems in execution.
