Fresh today: At the SharePoint 08 Conference in Seattle, Microsoft has released a guidance “blueprint” around using Silverlight for an enhanced user experience in MOSS:
The Silverlight Blueprint for SharePoint is source code and guidance for developers describing how to use Microsoft Silverlight and Microsoft SharePoint Products and Technologies together in business applications and Internet Web sites. SharePoint applications that use Web Parts can now be built using Silverlight user interface elements. This capability enables a fresh look at data exposed through SharePoint Products and Technologies using the modern graphics capability in Silverlight.
It's important to note that this is not a new supported Microsoft product and doesn't necessarily represent future product direction it works with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Silverlight 2.0. However we think it will be extremely useful for customers building the latest generation of SharePoint sites. It's a sample that directly enables the use of Silverlight with SharePoint. This is being implemented as more than a sample since Blueprints also include guidance for developers that is integrated into Visual Studio and the completed blueprint will be released on CodePlex soon.
