![]() The company will present Silverlight at the National Association of Broadcasters conference this week, and plans to demonstrate an trio of Silverlight applications: a Major League Baseball online stats and video system, a suite of set-top box apps made by IPTV technology developer Brightcove, and an Internet video player that can seamlessly overlap small banner-type ads created by advertising media developer Eyeblaster. This is where we will store the actual images and the SlideShowImages.xml file. ![]() The website project has a folder called ClientBin which the Silverlight application has access to at runtime. Microsoft will have to work hard to get developers to move away from solutions like Flash that have worked for many years, but the Redmond giant is nothing if not patient. The first is the website project ( ImageRotator.Web) and the other is the Silverlight project ( ImageRotator ). ![]() Windows Server "Longhorn"-the server version of Vista expected to ship later this year-will come with Streaming Media Services for deploying VC-1 video for Silverlight clients. On the server side, Silverlight applications will work fine with Linux-based web servers, but Microsoft is encouraging people to use Windows-based servers by bundling extra tools to make the process easier. While Silverlight is cross-platform in terms of web browser support, the development tools are Windows-only. Tools such as Microsoft's Expression XAML builder (currently in beta) can also be used to create Silverlight presentations. The company plans to release a suite of Silverlight development tools to make this process easier. Microsoft's plan is to entice web developers over to Silverlight gradually, emphasizing that they can leverage existing skills with HTML, Javascript, AJAX, and XAML.
