I’m about to start work on a new LOB application which is mainly forms over data. I am going to use either WPF or Silverlight but am not sure which technology to use. Silverlight seems to have everything I need with the bonus of being cross platform as well. Is there any reason why I should use WPF in this context? or is Silverlight the way to go for these sort of applications?
If Silverlight seems to have everything you need I’d say go for it!
You could start out writing a simple prototype where you address your biggest concerns. If Silverlight handles those tasks you got your confirmation, and can proceed writing the whole application in Silverlight.
Silverlight is catching up on WPF, and when Silverlight 4 is released you can solve many of the things you needed WPF for before.
