Microsoft Silverlight offers powerful features for building improved RIA and browser based media experiences.
Microsoft Silverlight is a tool that helps application developers deliver and create, rich internet applications that offer users interactive features, enhanced video quality and a power packed performance.
For developers, Silverlight is an ideal platform for development and deployment of advanced internal and end –user applications across diverse categories.
Silverlight for Business Applications
For many developers, Microsoft Silverlight is the platform of choice for rich web application development. It offers a full suite of features that helps improve the functionality and efficiency of business applications.
- This platform helps developers create a virtual print view, which means an application can offer print-friendly documents.
- Form sorting resizing and validation of forms is another business friendly feature offered by this platform. Silverlight offers over 60 components that can be customized to build diverse forms in line with the requirements of the business.
- The ability to build modular applications brings to end users the benefits of a fast start up and downloads. For developers, the fact that Silverlight offers them the opportunity to divide the applications development into various modules ensures efficient development and testing. It also makes sure that the process of customization is more responsive.
Silverlight for Richer Applications
There are plenty of tools that can be used for creating innovative media experiences, but with Microsoft Silverlight these experiences have become more appealing and highly interactive.
- This platform improves user interaction by offering support for Webcam and Microphone. This is great for businesses as applications can now facilitate the sharing of video, as well as, audio for various purposes including chat and customer services.
- With Silverlight, server interaction is no longer a prerequisite for local audio and video recordings. This allows developers to integrate new features in application such as sending video in e-mails and even capturing voice recordings, amongst various others.
- Bringing images, text and data into any application is a difficult and time consuming process, but Silverlight has made this process a whole lot easier. It offers developers a drag/drop or copy/paste facility which makes it easy and convenient for developers to incorporate such data into an application.
Silverlight for sandboxed applications
Silverlight also offers an out-of-browser experience for both sandboxed and trusted applications. This helps developers create an application that doesn’t burden the end user with any additional runtime download. More importantly, they don’t need to write an application differently for this purpose. When it comes to sandboxed applications, apart from a much tighter integration of HTML and web browser based content, support is also offered for desktop pop-up notifications. This helps offer real time feedback to end users.
When it comes to trusted applications, users will be able to access various other Microsoft desktop programs such as Excel for the creation of reports. They will also get the benefit of enhanced shopping applications, as well as, the ability to read and write file to My Documents, My Pictures etc.
It’s only an application developer with in-depth Silverlight experience who can help develop a rich internet application that uses these features to provide optimum benefits to end users.
