I think you could use whatever server technology that you want, since server communication is via Web services, although it would be easier to use .NET than ColdFusion. If all you want are some fancy buttons, then I don't think you would need any direct interaction with the server.
Flash is programmed using ActionScript. Silverlight uses .NET (C# and VB.NET), and also supports JavaScript. So that line you are referencing is referring to how you actually create a Silverlight application, not server-side technology. The advantage of Silverlight over Flash is that the same programming language that is used to create Silverlight applications can also be used to create desktop applications and Web applications. In contrast, ActionScript is really only used for Flash and Flex, and you need to use an entirely different programming language on the server. -Mike Chabot On 11/3/07, Ali Majdzadeh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi everybody: > Does Silverlight support CF? > I quote: "Silverlight offers a flexible programming model that supports > JavaScript, Visual C#, Visual Basic, and other languages."
