Using Silverlight for an entire website?

Question

We need to build an administration portal website to support our client/server application. Since we\'re a .Net shop the obvious traditional way would be to do that in ASP.Net.

Answer 1

I've seen "Silverlight only" websites at Microsoft and they are pretty impressive. But again, the demos were there to exploit the full potential of what Silverlight can do. The moment you need something different you may be out of luck. I don't see Silverlight like Flash except in the way they are installed/seen. But the Flash/ActionScript backend is really bad compared to what Visual Studio can offer with .NET

Ask yourself why would you like to use Silverlight? Fancy effects or programming model?
