Wow, in early February I saw a Silverlight 2.0 demo for consumer engagement in the banking industry.  The "eye-candy" value was huge but what really impressed me was the funcationality and ease-of-use provided by the Silverlight controls, meters, buttons, etc. for the end user.  It was immediately easy to see the applicability to health plan member portals and other end-user browser based applications.

Silverlight 2.0 provides controls for charts, image sliders and more. SIlverlight 2.0 will enable developers to create apps having:

  • Richly compelling experiences
  • Real relevance for business
  • Interop with ASP.NET and AJAX
You can immediately experience Silverlight 2.0 with a demo created by Infragistics Labs.  This exciting demo showcases the future of Web design and development. Experience Silverlight today at IG Labs and visualize all of the great possibilities with Silverlight.  More information on Silverlight can be found at www.silverlight.net .
