Do i need to know Javascript before learning Silverlight?
Is it possible to put a WPF componet on a webform rather than silverlight component?
TY in Advance

Accepted answer
for silverlight you need some JS in your study but not that much

the very idea of Silverlight 3 and on is killing JS, meaning that the Silverlight engine will be the one building most of it, and the Developer will use .NET controls

about WPF issue on WebForm, this is Silverlight, its basically an Extention of WPF into Web, by the First Level design WPF didnt support the ability to be used outside of windows, and when MS went over the Silverlight they adopted WPF into Web
