You should be able to just re-compile your code once you have the Silverlight 3 SDK installed. Are you getting any specific errors?

Yes you can. The instructions can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc903962(VS.95).aspx
The main thing to recognize is that a custom splash screen must use the Silverlight 1 model which relies on JavaScript. The reason why is because the Silverlight 2 runtime is actually in the process of loading when the splash screen ...

1) The asp.net toolbox is not a thing of the past. The asp.net toolbox is relevant for traditional web applications. Silverlight is a way to enhance traditional web applications as little, or as much, as you ...

Hi Zachary,
You essentially have two options that stem from the same idea. The idea, as you mentioned, is to use JavaScript. With Silverlight, you can communicate with two Silverlight plug-in instances through JavaScript. Alternatively, you can use the powerful HTML DOM APIs that are part of Silverlight to keep more of your code in C#/VB ...
