Know Silverlight with Tech Support

Read More About Computers

According to Microsoft tech support experts, Silverlight is the Microsoft product that is designed to support multimedia web applications. It is actually a Microsoft's product to combat Adobe's Flash on the multimedia arena. Silverlight is the integrated product which is triggered to generate animations, video, and interactivity at the same time. With this technology, you can click on an animated object and can get response. So, it is basically an integration of video and interactivity to provide the developers the choice of imbibing technology with creativity.

Silverlight requires .NET Framework of Microsoft. Now queries can probably come that .NET is going to be the dominant standard on which the new MS applications will be developed so you may need to install it but is Silverlight going to become the multimedia standard without which no websites can be seen properly? And if the answer is in the negative why we should install it?

The answer may come in the negative, explain the tech support experts. One major reason behind this is that Silverligh is not compatible with Linux and some flavor of Linux is heavily used by most web servers.

Another big challenge for Silverlight is it’s compatibility with the web browsers. Browsers like Firefox, Google Chrome, SeaMonkey, Safari, and Opera support Silverlight. But not all the operating system supports this new technology. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer supports this of course.

The major challenge for Silverlight is the presence and the popularity of Adobe Air and Flash. May be these are the reasons for which Silverlight can never rule the world of Web. Adobe Air is something which is directly analogous to Microsoft .NET Framework. Both of these applications are very user friendly and help the users with their vast libraries of functions. Adobe Flash is a program that is already too much popular as a standardized application for multimedia.

Now if you are thinking who is using this new multimedia application? eBay is one company who is using this application, explains the tech support experts. Actually eBay created new auction tracker tool using IE8 and Silverlight. Computer support experts suggest you that you also can use this item tracker tool. This tracker tool is useful enough to help you track the items that you are interested in. This toll also helps you to show the auctions you have already won with its drag and drop tool. You can see this drag and drop tool as a sidebar to eBay in the browser Internet Explorer 8.

So, by this time you get the point that for using Silverlight tool by eBay you will need to have Internet Explorer 8. This is the problem that you will face while working on the Silverlight software framework. Actually designing the same app for all the browsers and all the operating systems at a time is not possible for a developer. So, for accessing all the web applications users need to switch between web browsers and different browser plugins. Users need to download and install different platforms also to do some specific works. So users get the things doing the same things differently on different platforms. Keeping these things in mind tech support experts suggest you to play a wait and watch game for Silverlight.
