Microsoft Silverlight Là Gì

What Silverlight development component am I missing in particular? I see a bunch of different options, from Silverlight 4 SDK Beta to VS Tools for Silverlight 4 and a bunch of others. I don't want to install stuff that will get me right back to the situation I had before this one with outdated components.
The file that's missing ships in the Silverlight 4 SDK. You can either install just the Silverlight 4 SDK, or re-install the entire Silverlight 4 Tools for VS2010 package (which will re-install the developer runtime, SDK, a hotfix for VS2010, the Silverlight 4 Tools package, and WCF RIA Services).
You may get this with Silverlight version 4 projects when trying to open in version 5 if version 4 bits are not on that machine. What has worked for me (after several hours of trying everything) is to edit the csproj file and change the silverlight target version
Afer many tries, what worked for me was:1. go to add or remove programms2. remove all silverlight versions installed (4, 5 or even if version is not specified remove it too!)3. install Silverlight 4 SDK4. install Silverlight 5 for developersFinally opened the project in VS 2010 SP1
I just updated my Mac and it won't let me watch Netflix anymore and says I need to install Microsoft silverlight plug in or watch it on safari but it isn't letting me watch it on safari and there are no updates needed.
I wish to use Web UI Builder for my application.To use this I have to install the Microsoft silverlight. I downloaded it and I installed it. But, in this website , if I am clicking on the "Try it Now" tab, again, it was asking about the "Install the Microsoft Silverlight". When I am checking into my program files, I have seen that Silverlight program has been installed already. So, What is the reason I couldn't enter to Web UI Builder. Could You anyone guide me.......
There's currently a workaround listed on that page (a way to re-enable Silverlight in Chrome), but eventually that option will go away (in future versions of Chrome), so Internet Explorer is probably the best bet.
I went to -in/windows-10/about in both browsers. In Chrome I could see the content on the webpage perfectly. In Firefox it asked me to install Microsoft Silverlight. I'm surprised that on Chrome it didn't ask me to install Silverlight.
From what I gather, pipelight runs silverlight using wine in the background somehow but this not only works, it works better than silverlight does in Windows and installs as a plugin to your linux browser (not a wine workaround). Tested on netflix and the timewarner cable tv app.
I'm trying to remove unwanted apps/features from our servers.We have production servers running ASP.Net MVC websites, but we don't and never had any silverlight applications. The server has chrome and SSMS installed. So is it ok to uninstall Microsoft Silverlight from production servers (since it's deprecated) ?
Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 introduced a bug causing build errors when a web application references a Silverlight application.
Please vote up the issue here: MSBUILD : error : Copying file failed. Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list
As a work-around, perform the following steps in the web application:
This may be caused by the compiler failing to load a 32-bit assembly reference when compiling the silverlight project targeting "Any CPU" in a 64-bit process. As a work-around, force MSBuild to load task assemblies in the x86 architecture:
Some 10 years after the final Microsoft Silverlight release, some developers still fear being "Silverlighted," or seeing a development product in which they have invested heavily be abandoned by Microsoft.
Microsoft will tell you that official support for Silverlight will end in less than two months, on Oct. 12, 2021. Anyone in the industry will tell you it effectively died around 2011 when the last version, Silverlight 5, was made available for download. Speculation about its demise arose around the same time.
Silverlight is described by Wikipedia as an application framework designed for writing and running Rich Web Applications, supporting multimedia, graphics and animation. It became a favorite tool for many developers, including this reporter, who created a spiffy blackjack card game in which Silverlight animation was used to make the playing cards spin and flop through the air as they were dealt from the deck to the playing surface. It was cool.
Hello HTML5, Goodbye Silverlight
Many real developers felt the same way and invested themselves in Silverlight, only to see Microsoft deprecate the plugin technology in favor of emerging standards like HTML5. Although still officially a supported product, Silverlight effectively died years ago as browser after browser has dropped Silverlight support, basically leaving only Internet Explorer 11 on Windows as the sole browser it still works with.
As an old Microsoft FAQ states: "Silverlight 5 is the only version currently supported. Silverlight 5 will support the browsers listed on this page through October 12, 2021, or through the lifecycle of the underlying browsers, whichever is shorter." It turns out that the latter was shorter as clicking on the "this page" link in the above text just goes to a "Get Microsoft Silverlight" site where apparently anyone not using IE 11 on Windows is told: "You are running on a browser that may not be fully compatible with Microsoft Silverlight. You can still try to install by clicking below or you can refer to the System Requirements for more information."
So it's dead already, for all practical purposes, and it joins a host of other development products deprecated by Microsoft. Many enjoyed and even still enjoy strong developer support. It's a subjective thing, but some of these products might include Visual Basic, Microsoft Liquid Motion, Microsoft Blend, Microsoft WebMatrix, Microsoft LightSwitch for Visual Studio and Microsoft Expression Web (and maybe toss UWP into the mix).
The latter item in the above list, Expression Web, was even the subject of its own article ("Microsoft Abandons Expression Web and Front End Web Development") in which Silverlight was mentioned many times. For example, one comment in the 2012 article said: "Haven't you heard the .NET developers' outcry a year ago about MS moving the application development focus from .NET to HTML/JS/CSS? Haven't you heard the angry Silverlight developers?"
'Will It Be the Next Silverlight?'
The first reminder came in reader comments in a Microsoft post about ASP.NET Core updates in .NET 6 Preview 7. A reader said he would need several things before he would use Blazor (web dev primarily with C# instead of JavaScript):
After that list, the developer commented: "Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy Blazor. But it still has ways to go until it can compete with other technologies, and I'm not sure how sure/committed MS is with it (will it be the next Silverlight?)."
'MAUI Will End Up in the Same Place as Silverlight'
The other reminder came four days ago in the Visual Studio Magazine article "Microsoft Replaces Xamarin Toolkits with New .NET MAUI Alternatives."
The open source .NET Multi-platform App UI (MAUI) is a cross-platform framework for creating native mobile and desktop apps with C# and XAML, described by Microsoft as the evolution of Xamarin.Forms.
That striking coincidence speaks to the popularity of Silverlight. Even though some might argue that Microsoft's Silverlight deprecation was a sound business decision as the industry drifted away from the plugin approach (Flash, anyone?) in favor of more open, accessible tech like HTML5, Silverlight is still very much in the minds of many developers.
Silverlight Replacements
Just last year, for example, Userware, on a years-long quest to bring back Silverlight, announced an open source implementation of Silverlight based on WebAssembly called OpenSilver. Underneath a clock counting down to the end of Silverlight support in October, developers are told they have two migration options: do it yourself or sign up for "cost-effective" help (see graphic above).
However, the Silverlight replacement space might be thinning out. For example, on a Citrix forum last year, a developer asked about Any news on silverlight replacement? He said: "Hey, I would like to bring up this very old topic. Customers are looking for a HTML5 GUI for the ELM for a long time now. Is an update of the GUI still on the roadmap? And if so, when is it going to be released?"
Let It Go
Of course, all development tooling companies will come up with new products and technologies and then phase many of them out as the result of business decisions. Perhaps the most reasoned thinking about the fear of being "Silverlighted" came from Ed Charbeneau, then a Developer Advocate for Telerik, in a 2015 blog post titled "Microsoft Hates Enterprise Developers?"
Charbeneau, in discussing changes in ".NET Core 5" (which turned out not to be a thing, as .NET Core became just .NET), did not think that Microsoft hated enterprise developers, whom he basically advised to roll with the changes:
Taky sem to nerozbehal :( Tak proste na stranky s timhle slizem nelezu. Flash je tu uz radu let a funguje na linuxu i woknech, doufam, ze se mi ten silverlight podari uspesne ignorovat jako ten hnusnej .NET :)
Podpora jazyku .NET je az ve verzi Silverlight 1.1, ktera je jiz dnes davno k dispozici. Tato verze samozrejme obsahuje vse co verze 1.0 a pridava podporu krome klasickych .NET jazyku jeste podporu IronPython a Ruby. Silverlight 1.1 obsahuje miniCLR, ktery bezi na Windows, Linuxu (Moonlight projekt) a MacOS. Instaluje se pri instalaci plug-inu pro prohlizec. Silverlight podporuje napr. WMV bez nutnosti instalace kodeku (Flash vyzaduje doinstalovani kodeku pro WMV) ci VC-1. Silverlight podporuje HW akceleraci, umoznuje prehravat HD videa atd. atd. Porovnat technologie po strance programovani mohou jeno vyvojari. Programovy kod ve Flashi je po vytvoreni "uzavren" a velmi tezko lze za behu ho jiz nejak menit. Silverlight kod lze za behu menit, nahravat dynamicky nove XAML prvky atd.
