Microsoft Silverlight is a web application development framework that assimilates graphics, multimedia and animations. Silverlight is a perfect platform for the rich interactive applications that are required today. Silverlight is aimed to compete with Adobe Flash and Sun Microsystems’ JavaFX, which was launched a few days after Silverlight. It also competes with the presentation components of AJAX.
It consists of the core presentation framework, which is responsible for the User Interface (UI), basic UI controls, graphics and animation, media playback, interactivity and user input, DOM integration, Digital Restrictions Management (DRM). Including features like as extensible controls, XML Web Services, networking components and Language Integrated Query (LINQ) APIs, Silverlight ships with a light weight class library.
The newer versions include Pixel Shader APIs. This allows the developer to create effects like blur and drop shadow also it enables them to create their own effects. The newer versions in MS Silverlight Software Programming also allows for Animation Easing effects. This brings a set of new easing animations like bounce, elastic effects, etc. Ability to produce such effects will help in creating smoother animation transitions and visual effects that you need to accomplish. Microsoft Silverlight Applications also helps in Text improvement. These Texts improvements are provided to account for more efficient rendering and animation of text within an application.
Also the application load time is accelerated by making use of the JavaScript API for local font support when local fonts can be used. With a Silverlight web application you can decode the image data before it is added to the visual tree and enables you to control the image cache. All this comes under the Image Improvements that are now a part of the new Silverlight platform.
The Media Stream Source API included in Silverlight is responsible for enabling adaptive streaming of media. Adaptive streaming allows the player application to choose the bit rate of the media based on available client bandwidth and central processing unit (CPU) resources.
