    Why would it? They're not competing technologies :) --edit-- Accidentally someone who predicted that desktop applications would disappear in favor of web-enabled applications?

    I think they meant to say that Silverlight is going away because nobody's using it.

      Totally agree with this. Java Swing has most futures then, let say, MFC from visual point of view but it’s all web.

      Yes the only problem with it was it was too slow that time and it needed better hardware. I think it should have been released 5 years back, probably it would have took off. Timing is very important for technology.

        Yes, and also there were security issues related to this technology.

          if you use Silverlight for all the cool sound/video/3D graphics, I can see why yo might think it's going away, but if you look at teh socket support, local communication etc, it solves alot of problem associated with business web apps. That said, Asp.Net is still the host and somethings cannot yet be done in Silverlight , so it's not going to replace it, but it's ability to argument it are pretty impressive.

                      Yeah, in rather the same way that VB6 has been deprecated :) ..and yes, it seemed like a good idea to ask for arguments that support the claim being made. The technologies do not only noy compete, they also target different platforms. I'd go as far as saying that WinForms, WPF, DirectX, ASP.NET and Silverlight complement each other.

                            I thought that was what you were doing: "ASAP.NET is going away!" "No it's not!" "Yes it is!" "Is not!" "Is so!" :-D ;P

                                It is being phased out. Didn't you see the specs for C# 4.0? In the year 2015 it will be C# == VB.NET.

                                    I hate so say but as much as I would like to use only Silverlight I need ASP.NET for plenty of things one of them is authentication, I think Silverlight will be on top of ASP.NET like forever but hope ASP.NET turns into more a platform or mid-tier or something and keep the front-end thingies for Silverlight but for that to happen I think SL needs like to be installed on 99% of PCs and Macs and Linuxes :(

                                        I overheard a conversation at the office this morning in which someone claimed to know that ASP.NET is "going away" in favor of Silverlight. Now did i miss an announcement somewhere or did someone at my office get snookered by the Silverlight marketing team?

                                          Perhaps they were testing to see who has a clue as to what web technologies are as this is a moronic statement.
