Getting Started with Silverlight 4

Getting Started with Silverlight 4

Silverlight 4 RC2 is available to download now. It works with Visual Studio 2010. First, you need to download and install Visual Studio 2010.

By default, Silverlight 4 does not ship with Visual Studio 2010. You need to download and install it separately.

Silverlight 4 is available here: Silverlight 4 Tools RC2 for Visual Studio.

After installing Silverlight 4 RC2, when you create a new Silverlight project in Visual Studio 2010, you will see 5 different project templates. Select one of these templates and make sure on next screen, Silverlight 4 is selected from the drop down. If you do not see Silverlight 4, that means Silverlight 4 is not installed on your machine properly.

Cheers!
