applications. It uses XAML, just like WPF applications, but runs in a Web page
applications. It uses XAML, just like WPF applications, but runs in a Web page
supported by ASP.NET.
Other parts of this book prepare you for working with Silverlight. Since Silverlight
uses XAML, you can review Appendixes A and B to get up-to-speed on XAML essentials.
Silverlight also has many features in common with WPF. Therefore, it would be useful to
review Chapter 8 before reading this chapter. What you’ll learn in this chapter is how VS
helps you create a Silverlight project, how to add controls to the Silverlight designer, and
how to deploy Silverlight applications.

Silverlight gives you the option to create a Web site at the same time as you create the
Silverlight application. You can opt not to create the Web site, but ultimately, you’ll need

based on ASP.NET Web forms, but this book concentrates on the ASP.NET MVC Web
development model, discussed in Chapter 9, which is why you see the New Web project
type set to ASP.NET MVC Web Project. Click OK to create the Silverlight application,
shown in Figure 10-2. You’ll also see a screen asking if you want to create a unit test
project, which is the same window discussed in Chapter 9. Click OK to continue.
