Hi,

 

I read on the
http://www.castleproject.org/blog/2012/08/windsor-and-core-3-1-released/
page that you are considering dropping Silverlight support.

This is very bad news for us. We have numerous (30-40 different actually)
applications running on the Silverlight platform, LOB stuff which are not
targeting the Internet at large but are of a more "intranet" style. Since
we've based our entire application framework on Castle (Core + Windsor), we
rely quite heavily on the stuff that Castle provides.

 

Of course, we could let our Silverlight version of the application
framework depend on an older version of Castle Core/Windsor (which will be
the case if you go on as you've planned), but that's a pain since the
framework is currently cross platform with 90-95% of the code being shared
between our WPF and Silverlight code bases. Having to rely on different
versions of Castle stuff is definitely a step in the wrong direction from
our perspective.

 

What is the reasoning behind this? I know that there are rumours about
Silverlight being "dead", but I don't think these should be taken so
seriously. It's still a quite viable platform for certain types of
applications, which have to run inside a web browser for one reason or
another.

 

I strongly urge you to reconsider this move. If it's a matter of you not
having enough resources to support Silverlight, let me know and I'll see
what we can do to help. 

 

Best regards,
