Need Any Help for Silverlight Homework

Silverlight

Silver light is one of the widely used Microsoft program that is considered as this continuous application Framework in order to  run  rich web applications  similar to adobe run time.  In other words, it is considered as free browser plug that enables interactive media experiences along rich business applications and immersive mobile apps for improving user experience (SOOMRO et al. 2016).  The commonly used operating system for the application is Microsoft.  the program is developed and launched by Microsoft Corporation. It also supports programming such as visual basics, c++, java script.  In early versions of Silverlight programs, individuals are able to focus only on streaming media, the new version of the program support graphics, and animation (Prokhorov et al. 2017). Unlike other programs, it is one of the two development platforms for windows program.  However, technical glitch reduces its credibility and    silver light could not run in Windows Phone or Windows Mobile versions of Internet Explorer. It is supported on Windows 8.1 and later and Windows Server 2012 (Novac et al. 2017).  The main aim of the program is that it is able to provide retained mode graphics system which is similar to Windows Presentation Foundation (Yuen 2020).  In the program, user interface is declared in Extensible Application Markup Language which play crucial role in developing graphics and animation.  However, recently, it plays crucial role in creating a range of gadgets for Windows Vista. Hence, it is crucial for running support graphics, and animation. Silverlight often requires an x86 processor  along with another technical support such as with Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) support (Novac et al. 2017). 

Explain Silverlight Architecture:

Silver light is a plug-in used for different platforms in order to enhance media experience for the consumers (Prokhorov et al. 2017).   It is made up of three components which will be discussed below.

Major Versions of Silverlight:

 The contemporary research so far suggested that there is major five versions that are existed for   Silverlight and each version is presented with different unique features that can contribute to improve animation and graphics for the users. For example,

Sliver light version 1:

 this was Application developed under the initial code name such as Windows Presentation Foundation/Everywhere (WPF/E) and it was released in 2007 for improving media experience of the individuals. On the other hand, apart from basic user interface, this version is also responsible for basic UI controls for ensuring high engagement, graphics and animation for improve experience and media playback for improving advance features (Prokhorov et al. 2017).

Sliver light version 2:

This was developed under the .NET Framework and implemented the same full Common Language Runtime. It is developed   for findings any HTML file using an object tag and .NET Framework 3.0 version is used so that any language can be implemented for developing newer version (Pursky et al. 2021).

Sliver light version 3:

This was developed under the unveiled at MIX09 in Las Vegas on March 18, 2009. The beta version of the same program was downloaded the same day for improving media experience of the individuals.  Silverlight 3 included more control compared to the first and second version of silver light such as , TreeView, various layout panels, DataForm. Similarly, to the first version, this version also basic UI controls for ensuring high engagement, graphics and animation (Yuen 2020).

Sliver light version 4:

This was developed in Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles and it is also beta version of the same program (Yuen 2020). However, unlike other programs, this new program supports google chrome such as browsing in google chrome, Use of webcam and microphone, printing, send messages to users (Prokhorov et al. 2017).

Sliver light version 5:

This was developed   also in Professional Developers Conference. It also has other features such as 3D graphics, playback speed controls, remote control, and 64-bit support

Language Is Used to Design the Layout in Silverlight and developmental tools for the program:

The common language used for designing lay out of the program are visual basics, c++, java script. Microsoft has positioned Microsoft Expression Blend as a companion tool to Visual Studio for the design of Silverlight User Interface applications (Yuen 2020).  The visual studio specifically used for developing the interface because it has ability to debug the application. After developing the program, it has a Silverlight control that is a ZIP format file. This zip format file of the application contains extension .XAP that encompasses   lists of .NET in order to manage, assess and assembles of .DLL files. Apart from a ZIP format file, this file usually has AppManifest.XAML file that contains this list along with the entry point for appropriate assembly. It can be hosted in any HTML file using an object tag.  Hence, development and assembly of Silverlight applications are complex and this program is debugged in a manner similar to ASP.NET applications in order to enhance UX (user experience) (Prokhorov et al. 2017). Apart from these languages and programs, Eclipse was also added as a development tool option for the users who are willing to use silver light for improving the media and graphics of the program.

Silverlight is one of the most widely used applications and oldest applications, the licensing of Program subjected to various complex   processes. For example, the world report of PC world report 2007 suggested that initially the program was planned to be released as open source by Microsoft (Prokhorov et al. 2017). However, the program ultimately launched licensed program with Microsoft Public License under Shared source initiative team 2001 and it is also available as silver light toolkit for accessing the appropriate application (SOOMRO et al. 2016).

What Are the Components of Silverlight?

Silver light is usually made up of three components such as core presentation framework, Programming language and protocol.  core presentation Framework contains data binding, vector graphics, text, animation, images. On the other hand, the programming language used in program already discussed above (visual basics, c++, java script). Protocols Used in developing and running the program is ADO.NET and it is often considered as one of the major components that ensure development and other components are also considered to improve design (SOOMRO et al. 2016).
