Silverlight: Getting Started

by matt 16. September 2008 12:00

I found myself with a little time between BizTalk Server tasks recently and decided it was high time I took a look at trying out Silverlight and seeing what it is worth.  It's still early days for me at the moment, but I thought I would share my starting point.

I was lucky enough to find a series of posts buy Scott Guthrie that give a good 8-step tutorial on building a Silverlight application in Visual Studio 2008.

I've really only just started and am taking the time to read some surrounding content on the web about each step, but I have to say that it looks quite impressive so far (as I think we all know).

One thing I did notice is that the WatermarkedTextBox control seems to have been removed from the current release of Silverlight and there at present does not seem to be a Watermark option on the standard TexBox control, but that's a pretty small issue when I'm effectively just getting to grips with it.
