Silverlight Features

@SLFeatures

Why don't you just ask me if Silverlight supports a feature? I'll tweet yes or no.


So sorry, that was writable bitmaps and bitmap caching. You cannot cache a jpeg or write to a gif. That's just silly


Visual State Manager to manage states


Jpeg caching & writable Gifs


GPU Hardware Acceleration (for video and bitmaps)


WPF compatibility - don't know what WPF stands for? We forgot also. It's a lot like silverlight, just slightly different.


File Upload Support (via WebClient API)


ADO.NET Data Services..err..Entity Framework..err Linq to JSON err .NET RIA Services. Let's just say supports our data access du jour


Open source extra control toolkit like WrapPanel, DataGrid & Big Red Button


Deep Zoom Technology (Talk to Vertigo http://www.vertigo.com)


Layout controls including StackPanel, Grid, Canvas and MessySwirlPanel


Supports "Hello World!" programs


ZAPs! It's like a zip, just with a proprietary extension.


Rich Core Framework (e.g. Generics, collections, floats, booleans, anonymous delegates, lambda expression and strings)


New loading animation on http://CNN.com. It's in Flash, but Silverlight can do that.


RT @MossyBlog Does anyone know where i can get a detail list of all the features of Silverlight? Microsoft offers no value. - Right here!


Support for IronPython, IronRuby, Managed JScript, and other Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR) based languages


Support for Visual Basic.NET and C#; Common Language Runtime (CLR) based languages
