How do I get the Silverlight Add-On for Visual Studio 2010?
And where can I find lots of example code?
When the interent and html was new, one could find examples of how to build a website on a few trusted web sites. The same web sites might not be the best choice for looking for examples for Silverlight, I guess.
What are the best web sites where you can look at examples -- and most importantly -- look at the source code of some examples of Silverlight?
Back when MFC existed as a option that programmers might use to develop windows applications, a coder could look at a huge list of sample code and step through that code to find something that somewhat did what he was looking for and use that example code to build his own app. Is there anything like that for Silverlight?
I have found the http://gallery.expression.microsoft.com/ Expression Blend Gallery and I have found the http://www.silverlight.net/community/samples/silverlight-samples/ Silverlight dot net community samples. I guess that will keep me busy for a while. Are there other sites?
There are video instructions on MSDN's Channel9:
http://channel9.msdn.com/tags/curso-silverlight-4/
Are there any videos in English? The video instructions look very good. Where is the links to the English versions?
I was suggested this site for learning silverlight: http://channel9.msdn.com/learn/courses/Silverlight4/
This online documentation mentions "The Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio 2010" which "is an add-on for Visual Studio 2010 that provides tooling for Microsoft Silverlight 4 and WCF RIA Services. It can be installed on top of either Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Web Developer 2010 Express" where can I find this? Is it shipped with Visual Studio 2010?
