Infrastructure and Development Tools in the Experimental Quality Band Drag and Drop support for items controls.Components in the Mature/SDK Quality BandĬomponents in the Experimental Quality Band Below is a summary of where the components currently in the Silverlight Toolkit fall within the quality bands. The Silverlight Toolkit defines four Quality Bands that describe the stability and finish-level of each component. Otherwise the new templates will not show up.
Note: You must install XNA Studio in order to use the new Silverlight 3D templates. If you have previously installed the Silverlight 5 September 2011 toolkit, please make sure to uninstall before installing the December 2011 toolkit. For more information on these 3D extensions, please check out David Catuhe's blog entry on the topic. New to this release are some controls targeting Silverlight 5's new 3D features. This is the 9th, newest, and final release of the toolkit targeting the Silverlight 5. ** This was the final release of the Silverlight Toolkit in December 2011 **
Toolkit releases include open source code, samples & docs, plus design-time support for the Silverlight browser plugin. Straight from Microsoft, the Silverlight Toolkit provides the developer community with new components, functionality, and an efficient way to help shape product development. If a community were interested in adopting or taking forward key XAML-related components, that would be awesome.

Users of the other three sites and any others that still depend on these dying formats are right to wonder how many more years they’ll need to wait for a modern browsing experience.īut it can’t be that much longer: Google’s Chrome, Apple’s Safari and Microsoft’s Edge all no longer play Flash content automatically. But that site will move to an HTML5 setup for the 2018 season.
Some older versions of Logitech’s Harmony programmable universal remotes employ a Web app for their setup that itself requires Silverlight.Company rep Angi Ramos e-mailed that “we’re constantly refreshing the product” but didn’t have “a specific date” for when it would end that Flash dependency. Intuit’s personal-finance app still requires Flash to display graphs of your investments, even though HTML5 can easily handle that work.
Asked to explain that, company publicist Lindsey Angioletti wrote in an e-mail that “We are constantly evaluating our current offerings and will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a great customer experience.” The Web app that lets Optimum cable-TV subscribers watch the channels they pay for on a laptop, mentioned here last week, demands Silverlight.
So what could bring a site to continue to support Silverlight or Flash in 2017, and would it plan to switch to Web standards anytime soon? Three of four sites I found suffering from a Silverlight or Flash hangover did not have great answers.
