Illustrated 7 new features of Silverlight 3

1. Support for more media coding formats

The newly added multimedia encoding format in Silverlight 3 includes H.264,aac,mp4. Silverlight, the technology, since its inception, has been to multimedia, especially video support, placed in the first place. This time to support more coding formats to make it easier for site makers to publish and deploy video materials, just the following line of XML:

2. Using GPU to accelerate

With the enhancement of the graphics computing power, the application takes more and more graphics computing tasks from the CPU to complete the GPU. However, to take advantage of the GPU, for programmers, which usually means more coding tasks, in Silverlight 3, the complexity of the task is greatly simplified, just add a few lines of XML code in XAML, you can easily enjoy the GPU's Super computing power, paste a GPU rendering effect Fruit Chart:

3. Pivot 3D

The perspective of the field, in simple words, is to put 2D objects into 3D space. Unlike the traditional 3D projection of a 3D-space object into 2D space, pivot 3D means higher performance, a friendlier programming interface, and the ability to complete our 80% 3D mission. Okay, so much, to see a demo, a line of XAML-generated changes:

The above example, with a little expansion, can rotate one control in the 3D space in Silverlight 3.
