Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device plug-in for delivering the next generation of Microsoft .NET-connected media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web. In the first part of this webcast series, we provide a brief overview of Silverlight 2, and we describe its architecture, the new features specific to Silverlight 2, and the tools for working with the technology—Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and Microsoft Expression Blend. We also discuss the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) UI framework for Silverlight, which is a subset of the WPF UI framework for the desktop and Windows Presentation Foundation. Learn how to use Silverlight controls for a rich way to build sites and layout management, how to render content correctly when you resize the page, and the available Silverlight controls, including Button, Calendar, ListBox, Image, Grid, Slider, and TextBox.
