Getting Started With Silverlight

In this article I will show how to work with "Silverlight".

Technology used: Visual Studio 2012.

Use the following procedure to start working with Silverlight.

Step 1:

• Create a Silverlight application named "MySilverlightApplication".
  
  
  
  Note: In this case I don't have Silverlight Developer Runtime on my machine, so I need to download it.
  
  
  
  After downloading it, just run it.
  
  
  
  Now again create the Silverlight application named "MySilverlightApplication".
  
  Note: if the "MySilverlightApplication" folder already exists then kindly delete it.
  
  
   
• By the click on the checkbox, your Silverlight application will be automatically attached to the selected "web project" or "website".
  
  
  

Step 2:

• Add the button to the "mainpage.xaml" of the Silverlight application and create an "onclick" event of the button.
  
  
  
  
• Write the code in "mainpage.xaml.cs" to show an alert message on the click event of a button.
  
  MessageBox.Show("Hello World");
  
  
  

Step 3:

• Set the Web project as the start project.
  
  
  
  
• Run both the pages one by one.
