Microsoft (NSDQ:MSFT) will officially launch Silverlight 4 on April 13, further bridging the world of Web and desktop applications and sending a message that Silverlight is ready for the enterprise.<\/p>\n

Microsoft, which launched the Silverlight 4 Release Candidate at its MIX10 event last month, is positioning Silverlight 4 as a tool for developing line of business applications as well as a way to move the classic Windows Forms and ASP.Net\/Ajax into a more modern user experience. Silverlight 4’s hooks to SharePoint 2010, Office, and Internet Information Services (IIS) also reflect this business focus.<\/p>\n

Scott Guthrie, corporate vice president of Microsoft’s .Net Developer Platform, will deliver the news in a keynote at the DevConnections conference in Las Vegas. It’s been a busy couple of months for Guthrie, who presided over last month’s launch of the Windows Phone 7 development platform, which is powered by Silverlight.<\/p>\n

Microsoft’s choice of Silverlight — the full Silverlight programming model, not a mobile version — as the platform for native Windows Phone 7 application development has sent a charge through the software giant’s army of developers. Windows Mobile didn’t provide much incentive to this group, but Silverlight — which is based on .NET — is right up their alley.<\/p>\n

Microsoft is now offering the Windows Phone 7 development toolkit as a free download, a package that includes Silverlight, Expression Blend for Windows Phone and a preview of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express.<\/p>\n

Microsoft is also planning to launch Visual Studio 2010 on April 12, a release that includes technology that helps programmers bridge the .Net and Java worlds, as well as Windows Azure templates for moving code between cloud and on-premise applications.<\/p>\n
