I’m installing a programming environment for Silverlight and trying to straighten out what needs

  • 0

I’m installing a programming environment for Silverlight and trying to straighten out what needs to be installed, feedback is appreciated:

  1. At http://silverlight.net/GetStarted, point number one allows you to install ‘Silverlight Tools for Visual Studio 2008 SP1′. The book (Silverlight 2, Wiley) that I am reading seems to refer to this as the ‘Silverlight SDK‘.

  2. Also at http://silverlight.net/GetStarted, point number four allows you to install ‘Silverlight Toolkit‘ which my book refers to as ‘Silverlight Development Tools‘.

So the way I understand it, there are only 2 things to install, the names just seem to not be consistent. Or are there really 3 or 4 different things to install?

  1. You’re correct: – the first one refers to the actual SDK (along with documentation, Visual Studio templates and examples). You must install this one in order to develop a Silverlight 2 web application. – the second one is a collection of controls and classes already coded and ready to be used in any Silverlight 2 web application. This one is not required but you can find it very useful since it’s a community project, constantly mantained and updated with new features.
