Develop the development environment of Silverlight, develop the UI with expression blend2, and use vs to develop the backend

Too many people have asked about sivlerlight's development tools. If you want to develop Silverlight applications, Ria, or ASP. net integration Silverlight, please install the following development tools, note, please install in sequence. The following describes the purpose of each tool and why it needs to be installed...

We recommend that you install the following package in sequence:
◎ Visual Studio 2005 → needless to say, do not use the Express version.
◎ Silverlight 1.0 run-time (Windows Version) → used to display your browser plug-in Silverlight
◎ Visual Studio 2005 services Pack 1 → you need to install this first and then install the silvrlight 1.0 SDK later)
◎ Silvrlight 1.0 SDK → after this is installed, the Silverlight sample project (in C #) will be available in vs2005 #)
◎ ASP. NET Ajax 1.0 → after this is installed, the subsequent ures release can be installed. Moreover, after the installation, Silverlight can read the back-end database through Ajax technology.
◎ ASP. NET futures release → enable ASP. NET to easily integrate Silverlight
◎. NET Framework 3.0 (Chinese version) → you have to install this first and then the blend 2 will be installed later.
◎ Expression blend 2 (English version) → the damn vs2005 is not regarded as what you get, so you need to use blend 2 to help developers design the Silverlight UI by dragging (refer to this Article ), unless your XAML script code is as familiar as your classmates. This software also has a new version from time to time. Please find it yourself...

After completion, various Silverlight applications can be developed.
