Maybe an understanding of what Silverlight is would help to start with... What is Silverlight?[^] What do you mean by "web application"? What is "SilverLight Business Application"? Do you mean the project template that comes with the Silverlight 3.0 development tools? Silverlight is implemented as a browser plugin (like Flash) so Silverlight applications run on the client side. Silverlight can be hosted on any web page including web pages from ASP.NET web applications.

hi, i know what is silverlight and i know it is a browser client application in web page. but in silver light also you can create business application that can be communicated with the database through domainDataSource class and you have alot of controls like DataGrid FormView etc. what i am asking is that; is it posible to develope a complete business application like what we do in .net web application. i think the best thing for me is to take an existing web application and try to re-develop it using silverlight business application.

Is it possible? Yes. I'm doing it. But your definition of a "complete business application" may be different. Again, the big difference is, Silverlight runs .NET on the client, where any other .NET web application runs on the server. You can take advantage of code running on the client to provide a richer UI. I prefer to use Silverlight as part of a .NET web application, so I can leverage >NET code on both the client and the server.
