| Term
| Silverlight
|
| Definition
| A Web-based subset of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). Silverlight is founded on XAML and JScript. The Silverlight subset enables Flash-ish Web and mobile applications using the identical code used by Windows .NET applications. 3D features are unsupported; but, vector-based drawing and hardware acceleration (XPS) is supported. Silverlight was named WPF/E— ostensibly an acronym for "Windows Presentation Foundation Everywhere"—while under development.
