So I have learned a nice amount of C#, and was wondering if anyone could help me learn silverlight, also how similar is silverlight to C#?

[ragingben]

Your best bet is to go onto Google and do a few WPF/Silverlight tutorials. The syntax of Silverlight is very differnt to C#, and it certainly takes a bit of effort to move from WinForms to WPF or Silverlight, but it is well worth it.

DIC has a few tutorials: http://www.dreaminco...howforum124.htm

You are definitely wrong on this. Silverlight is based on C#, therefore a Silverlight developer uses standard C# to build SL applications. You are using XAML to build the UI, but that's a different application layer.

@Theaegd Take a look at our Silverlight Resources list for places where you can learn the basics of SL.

thnx core, i was kinda surprised when he said SL syntax was diffrent.

Sorry guys you are compleatly right - I was very confusing there - I was talking about XAML, and not SL. Sorry if I caused any confusion
