Silverlight is wired for dealing with data in datacentric apps that the owner wants highly polished and video or animation is necessary. Alan put up a link that does a great job expanding how easy you can manipulate your displayed functionality, error handling, warnings and more. I did half of what was presented and was not aware of some other capabilities that i saw presented. I brought those up at an interview yesterday and maybe that will be a hook for my new job? Silverlight is getting better by the release, just as Visual Studio has over the decades. Just because your favorite tool has seen it's day in the sun and is now in the retirement home, dismissing all new replacements that the same company produces is foolish. Products some and go because of a host of reasons. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Web and Windows Development Independent Contractor Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
