How to Build a Silverlight Website
Microsoft Silverlight is a development platform used to build a wide variety of media applications. Web developers use Silverlight to embed these applications or other Silverlight-based media within websites. To enable Silverlight on your website, the Silverlight plug-in must first be integrated into your site. This can be done by adding HTML code to your website's existing HTML documents. Completing this task will require experience in editing HTML documents and accessing documents within a webhost.
