What is SilverLight? I will not introduce it here. You can search related articles on the Internet.

The first Beta version of Silverlight 2 has greatly improved functions, development, and deployment compared with previous versions. In the development stage, Visual Studio 2008 is supported, including C #, Visual Basic, and JScript hosting. NET Framework programming language, IronRuby, IronPython, and other dynamic languages. It supports Code-behind and Partial Classes encoding methods. Therefore, it is quite convenient for developers.

To do well, you must first sharpen your tools. To develop a Silverlight 2 application, a good development tool will greatly speed up program development. To develop a Silverlight 2 Application, you need the following tools:

• Visual Studio 2008: Provides the. NET Framework 3.5 environment and development environment. I don't need to say that, as everyone on Earth knows :).
• Silverlight Tools for Visual Studio 2008: provides a project template for creating a Silverlight 2 application, which is:

• Note: Only Visual Studio 2008 Standard, Professional, and Visual Studio Team System 2008 can be installed. When installing these products, select the "Visual Web Developer" function. Visual Studio 2008 quick release cannot be installed.

Of course, you can also use Microsoft Expression Blend 2.5 March 2008 Preview to create Silverlight 2, which is:

Note: If the content cannot be displayed after you download the chm sdk, refer to the solution in this article:
Right-click the file and select properties. In the lower right corner of the property, click "unlock" and click OK to display the file normally.

If Silverlight 2 is correctly installed, the following page is displayed:

If Silverlight Tools Beta 2 for Visual Studio 2008 is successfully installed, the Silverlight Project template appears when you create a new project. After the preparation is complete, we will perform practical exercises below.
