Scott's Demo

  • Article

So ScottGu is demoing Silverlight, he's running on a clean XP machine, no .NET framework, no media player installed.

He's downloaded a small ActiveX control that quickly installed the CLR, a whole load of video codecs and the application.

There is a comparison between the CLR and Javascript AI implementations.  Incredible.  The CLR whoops JS.  You've gotta see it to believe it!

Visual Studio now has a SilverLight template, which creates a XAML file and a C# codebehind file.  Let me reiterate, this will run on the *client*.  Any client.  Including OS X.

CROSS PLATFORM DEBUGGING!!!

Wow.

He just hit a breakpoint after clicking on a button on a Mac.

Intellisense against live objects running in a remote browser.

Isn't this cool?
