Is silverlight can be use in wpf windows application?
Some slight confusion about it, what benefits of silverlight may be taken in wpf windows application?
Is there any licensing required for silverlight developement and deployment?
Silverlight can be developed with WebDeveloper Express (with the addon), IIRC – so no you don’t have any inbuilt license costs – but it would be easier with Blend and VS Pro or above. Of course, WPF can be developed with C# Express, so also free!
But fundamentally they are different products; Silverlight is a slimmer version designed for cross-platform use with RIA – originally in the browser, but now out-of-browser too with Silverlight 3. WPF is windows / .NET 3.0 specific, but has a richer framework.
