Silverlight

😞 Sadly, Silverlight was deprecated by Microsoft in 2011 and support ended in 2021. In March 2022 I tried to load the Silverlight apps in IE11 to take screenshots for historical interest, but the plugin will not even automatically load any more. I could load the runtime manually, but it's not worth the effort. So sadly I flagged the repositories as archived and moved the projects to an archive folder. Silverlight was a fabulous way of creating rich business app UIs in the browser, and we have nothing to replace it. You can use any fancy web development kit you like as an attempted replacement, but in the end they all render the UI in brain-dead dumb HTML which is incapable of creating a rich UI. For more information see Silverlight death and funeral and I'm in the future of the web and it doesn't work .
