Support for the .NET Framework – if you are already a .NET developer, it is easy to start programming on Silverlight.
• Support for managed code – you can write programs in your favorite language which .NET CLR supports like C#, VB.NET, dynamic languages (IronPython, IronRuby).
• Better development tools -Visual Studio 2010, Expression Blend.
• Large community- More learning resources available compared to Flash.
• Integration with Enterprise based technologies like WPF, LINQ etc…
• Silverlight integrates the XAML declarative language with the .NET framework.
• It is a cross-browser, cross-platform technology which provides a consistent user experience everywhere it runs.
• The Silverlight plug-in installs in seconds, and leaves a very small footprint.
• After you install the plug-in, users no longer need to install anything on their workstations to run Silverlight applications. The applications are available to them from whatever browser they are accessing.
• It runs a client-side application that can read data and update the UI without interrupting the user by refreshing the whole page.
• It can run asynchronous communications with the server, allowing the UI to continue to function while waiting for the server response.
• It delivers rich video, audio, and graphics.
