Silverlight for Windows Embedded (Windows Embedded Compact 7)

Silverlight for Windows Embedded is a native (C++ based) user interface (UI) development framework for Windows Embedded Compact powered devices and is based on Microsoft Silverlight 3. You can use Silverlight to do the following:

  • Define visual UI for applications in [[XAML]].
  • Collaborate with designers by using TBD XAML projects.
  • Separate programming logic and UI design.
  • Add, modify, and customize the UI at run time.
  • Create interactive multimedia UI.

Silverlight is compatible with Silverlight 3 XAML and provides a set of equivalent classes for supported XAML elements. For information about Silverlight 3, see http://silverlight.net/.

Silverlight is also compatible with the existing Windows Embedded Compact window controls, so you can embed an existing Win32 control into your Silverlight application or embed a Silverlight application in a Win32 application.
