Rich Islands of Functionality: Silverlight in ASP.NET

Speaker(s): Todd Anglin

Silverlight and Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) are here and they’re popular. Really popular. All the buzz these days is about how you can build a dynamic application for the web that targets a RIA plug-in. Does that mean standards-based development’s days are number? Of course not! There are still many compelling reasons to build new websites using standards-based approaches like ASP.NET. In this session, you’ll learn why you may want to pick a standards-based approach to web development over a RIA plug-in. You’ll also learn how you can use a RIA, like Silverlight, to enhance ASP.NET websites and overcome the limits of HTML and JavaScript, such as enabling multi-file uploading, data visualization, and rich, animated UI. By combining the best of standards-based websites with rich islands of RIA functionality, you can build a modern web experience that offers the best of both the RIA and standards worlds!
