What Features Are in Silverlight?
Silverlight combines multiple technologies into a single
development platform that enables you to select the right tools and the right
programming language for your needs. Silverlight offers the following features:-
Features of Silverlight:
WPF and XAML. Silverlight includes a subset of the Windows
Presentation Foundation (WPF) technology, which greatly extends the elements in
the browser for creating UI. Silverlight lets you create immersive graphics,
animation, media, and other rich client features, extending browser-based UI beyond
what is available with HTML alone. XAML provides a declarative markup syntax
for creating elements.
For more information, see Layout, Input, and Printing, Graphics, Animation, and Media, and Controls.
Extensions to JavaScript. Silverlight provides extensions to the universal browser scripting language that provide control over the browser UI, including the ability to work with WPF elements. For more information, see JavaScript API for Silverlight.
Cross-browser, cross-platform support. Silverlight runs the same on all popular browsers (and on popular platforms). You can design and develop your application without having to worry about which browser or platform your users have. For more information, see Supported Operating Systems and Browsers.
Integration with existing applications. Silverlight integrates seamlessly with your existing JavaScript and ASP.NET AJAX code to complement functionality you have already created. For more information, see Integrating Silverlight with a Web Page.
Access to the .NET Framework programming model. You can create Silverlight applications using dynamic languages such as IronPython as well as languages such as C# and Visual Basic.
For more information, see Managed API for Silverlight Tools Support. You can use development tools, such as Visual Studio and Expression Blend, to quickly create Silverlight applications. For more information, see Silverlight Designer for Visual Studio 2010 and Expression Blend.
Networking support. Silverlight includes support for HTTP over TCP. You can connect to WCF, SOAP, or ASP.NET AJAX services and receive XML, JSON, or RSS data. For more information, see Networking and Web Services. In addition, you can build multicast clients with Silverlight. For more information, see Working with Multicast.
LINQ. Silverlight includes language-integrated query (LINQ), which enables you to program data access using intuitive native syntax and strongly typed objects in .NET Framework languages. For more information, see XML Data.

Why Silverlight And How To Use?
Here is the list of advantages and why we should go with
Silverlight over Flash and other technologies already available:
Support for the .NET framework – if you are a .NET
developer, it is easy to start programming on Silverlight.
Support for Managed code – you can write programs in your
favorite languages which the .NET CLR supports, like C#, VB.NET, dynamic
languages (IronPython, IronRuby).
Better development tools - Visual Studio 2010, Expression
Blend.
Large community -lot of learning resource are available as
compared to Flash technology.
Integration with Enterprise based technologies like WPF,
LINQ etc.
