New Features in Silverlight 3

March 18th, 2009 by jason Leave a reply »

Scott Guthrie is on stage right now in Las Vegas and here are a few things he has mentioned about Silverlight 3:

Utilization of the GPU on the client machine for graphics acceleration.
Merged Dictionaries (I had to write one of these myself).
Style inheritance.
On-demand type download – I wrote this from the ground up for the current app I am building. Its nice to see it bundled in with SL3.
Gestures in Windows 7 – I don’t know if this will be available in Silverlight on all platforms…
Playboy is putting all of its archives into a Deep Zoom powered site. Oh, and Rolling Stone is too.
