Abstract: Silverlight has a wealth of features directly applicable for developers building business applications. At the same time, the enhanced tooling provided by Microsoft Visual Studio® and Microsoft Expression Blend® takes much of the pain out of building business applications due to the quality of the design-time experience. This paper describes how to leverage Silverlight (and the associated tooling) to build business applications. The paper presents an overview of the rationale, architectural approaches, patterns, and toolkits to consider when building business applications with Silverlight.
