You might want to buy a book or two. My good friend Laurent Bugnion has written a rather good one called Silverlight 2 Unleashed[^].

Try Jesse Liberty's Tutorials[^] These are in both C# and VB. If you're a VB developer one of the problems is that the vast majority of snippets on the web are in C#. Re: buying a book, one thing to be aware of is that Silverlight 3 books will be appearing in the late summer so I would avoid buying a book now unless you have to. Again, if you're a VB developer then APress's "Pro Silverlight 2 in VB" (there's a C# version as well) looks good and it's also in colour. But the Silverlight 3 versions are already listed! Some knowledge of ASP.NET helps but is not essential.
