[Silverlight getting started series]. NET Framework class libraries supported and not supported by Silverlight

Microsoft Silverlight is a cross-browser and cross-platform. NET Framework implementation for obtaining Web Media experience and rich interactive applications.Program.

The. NET Framework supported by Silverlight is called". NET Framework for Silverlight". NET Framework contains a subset of components and libraries, including data integration, extensible Windows controls, networks, base class libraries, garbage collection, and Common Language Runtime (CLR ).

Some parts of. NET Framework for Silverlight are deployed through applications. These "Silverlight libraries" are assemblies that are not included in the Silverlight runtime but will be provided in the Silverlight SDK. When the Silverlight library is used in an application, it is packaged with the application and downloaded to the browser. These libraries include new UI controls, xlinq, integration (RSS/atom), XML serialization, and Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR ).
