This article introduces the knowledge of "what is Silverlight WCF". In the operation of actual cases, many people will encounter such a dilemma. Then let the editor lead you to learn how to deal with these situations. I hope you can read it carefully and be able to achieve something!

What is Silverlight WCF? It's hard to say? Perhaps people who have developed WPF will have a more thorough understanding. Silverlight is like a plug-in extracted by WPF and applied to WEB. Interface development, program part of the development are integrated with the WPF set, however, since it is applied to WEB, naturally follow a lot of WEB rules, so it is also a little different from WPF, at least they are conceptually completely two things, such a comparison is similar to WINFORM and ACTIVEX.

Silverlight can make dazzling client effects like FLASH, and has a perfect development framework. Programmers can easily deal with events in Silverlight WCF and call system libraries, which is incomparable to FLASH. Of course, compared with Silverlight WCF, FLASH may be more handy in animation and vector design.

For the client, Silverlight WCF is basically the same as FLASH, users need to install the corresponding plug-ins on the browser (Silverlight WCF plug-ins are much smaller), showing the same visual impact. So for users, apart from the different plug-ins installed, there does not seem to be much difference, which is also the purpose of MS, as long as users do not think there is any difference between the two or even Silverlight is better, then the convenience for developers is the convenience of MS.

That's a lot of crap. How to build the Silverlight WCF development environment, many related articles on the Internet, the impact is "trouble". Yes, it's troublesome, unlike FLASH, which can be developed by installing a FLASH software. Silverlight requires a lot of component support.

First of all, with the current official version 2.0, we need VS2008+SP1, the role of VS is of course to do the development of the program, there is no doubt, and the development of WEB also uses it, so it is okay to install a VS2008+SP1 first.

After that, you will find that your VS2008 can not create a Silverlight WCF application project, why, because you lack Silverlight WCF Tool FOR VS2008 SP1, you also need to install a Silverlight Tool for VS2008 SP1.

OK, you can create a Silverlight WCF project in VS, and you can develop it. VS supports interface preview, but it is not editable. And it seems impractical to develop the interface with VS, don't worry, MS certainly has its own interface development tool BLEND2 + SP1,BLEND, the example in WPF is WPF, so you can know that BLEND is used to develop WPF interface, of course, the interface used to develop Silverlight is also a piece of cake. VS08 and BLEND2 can switch between each other to complete the interface and program development.

At this point, you can complete the Silverlight WCF development environment configuration, after configuration, .NET3.0 3.5 will be installed by default, which needs to be noted, because 3.03.5 libraries may be used in the development process, so if you publish the project to the server, you should install these versions of .NET to the server accordingly.

That's all for "what Silverlight WCF is". Thank you for your reading. If you want to know more about the industry, you can follow the website, the editor will output more high-quality practical articles for you!
