Silverlight 2.0 to be Released to the Wild Monday?
It appears that Silverlight 2.0 is scheduled to be announced (among other things) in a special conference on Monday. Guess the real work begins for those that have been dragging their feet waiting for the release of V2.0!
Silverlight: Truth or Myth
"Why I should go for Silverlight? Is it secure?
Can I migrate my old application to Silverlight? will be costly affair for us?
How it works exactly?? Similar to ASP.NET Page life cycle??..
Being a Consultant by Profession and one of the Core member of User Group..above is the common set of questions people like me always come across..especially when some new product is there." [More]

"For those of you who are a) building graphics-intensive applications or b) trying to debug your performance, I would like to introduce xperf and xperfview. These are two profiling tools which can be used to analyze the performance of any Microsoft technology, including Silverlight." [More]

"This post will show how to host a Silverlight control in a SharePoint 2007 web part. This post uses Silverlight Beta 2, I will try to make sure to provide an update after Silverlight RTM's if required." [More]

"Let’s say your site is entirely written in Silverlight but you want to be able to load and run a different Silverlight application within your main Silverlight application/site. Currently this scenario is not directly supported in Silverlight. However, I have a work around that will more or less accomplish this scenario." [More]

Here on some samples of Sivlerlight:
"This first example illustrates the visualization of a project plan using a Silverlight Gantt Chart. This example allows users to open project plans stored in Microsoft Project XML format."
http://blogs.ilog.com/netvisu/2008/10/01/silverlight-experiments-from-our-net-visu-lab-part-1/"This small example also displays a project plan but this time the plan is displayed as a graph."
http://blogs.ilog.com/netvisu/2008/10/06/silverlight-experiments-from-our-net-visu-lab-part-2/"This example uses data from the CIA Work FactBook and displays this data using various Silverlight controls created in our lab: a world map and a treemap control with a color scheme based on a percentiles partition of datas and some Silverlight gauges."
http://blogs.ilog.com/netvisu/2008/10/08/silverlight-experimentations-from-the-net-visu-lab-part-3/"This new sample uses the same Diagram control as the one used in this post, but it uses a tree layout algorithm instead of a hierarchical layout. The Diagram control offers several other layout algorithms, and each algorithm has tons of options to fit a large range of application."
