Silverlight Development

MS Silverlight is the RIA development platform from Microsoft and is an emerging strong challenger to AJAX, Flex and Flash. Factors like the company's dominance of the desktop OS market, high browser share of IE are contributing towards increasing industry adoption of Microsoft Silverlight. The advantages of Microsoft Silverlight RIA development are:

• Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform, and cross-device plug-in
• Offers a flexible programming model - supports Visual Basic, C#, Python and Ruby
• Supports features like flexible 2D vector graphics, overlaid video, and powerful transformations and animations

Silicus MS Silverlight Development Experience

Silverlight Integration

Silicus Silverlight developers can integrate MS Silverlight into your existing web applications to create creating highly interactive web applications as well as rich internet applications. We can achieve this in one of two fashions:

• Using the HTML object element

Silverlight deployment and localization

Silicus Microsoft Silverlight engineers can define the application structure for the files and resources that will be deployed on the server. We can also perform and complete all the configuration settings on the host web server and within the host web page. Using MS Silverlight features, we can create localized and globalized applications that contain resources localized for specific cultures and locales.

Globalization involves developing applications that support localized user interfaces and regional data for multiple cultures. A globally aware application would throw data using the symbols (such as currency or decimal symbols) and formats familiar to a user in a particular culture.
