Silverlight Architecture
Silverlight Architecture:
- This topic describes the essential architecture and components of Microsoft Silverlight.
- Silverlight is not only an appealing canvas for displaying rich and interactive Web and media content to end users.
- It is also a powerful yet lightweight platform for developing portable, cross-platform, networked applications that integrate data and services from many sources.
- Furthermore, Silverlight enables you to build user interfaces that will significantly enhance the typical end user experience compared with traditional Web applications.
- While Silverlight as a client-side runtime environment seems simple and compact in size, the Silverlight development platform integrates a number of features and complex technologies, making them accessible for developers.
- To create effective Silverlight-based applications, developers need a working knowledge of the platform architecture.
The Silverlight Platform:
The Silverlight platform as a whole consists of two major parts, plus an installer and update component, as described in the following table.
Core presentation framework: Components and services oriented toward the UI and user interaction, including user input, lightweight UI controls for use in Web applications, media playback, digital rights management, data binding, and presentation features, including vector graphics, text, animation, and images. Also includes the Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) for specifying layout.
.NET Framework for Silverlight: A subset of the .NET Framework that contains components and libraries, including data integration, extensible Windows controls, networking, base class libraries, garbage collection, and the common language runtime (CLR).
Some parts of the .NET Framework for Silverlight are deployed with your application. These "Silverlight Libraries" are assemblies not included in the Silverlight runtime and are instead shipped in the Silverlight SDK. When Silverlight Libraries are used in your application, they are packaged up with your application and downloaded to the browser. These include new UI controls, XLINQ, Syndication (RSS/Atom), XML serialization, and the dynamic language runtime (DLR).
Installer and updater: An installation and update control that simplifies the process of installing the application for first-time users, and subsequently provides low-impact, automatic updates.

dnn skins
Skins:
Designing a custom look and feel for a DotNetNuke site requires changes to all or some of the key five design elements, these being:
Skins Containers Style Sheet Body Background
A summary of each of these design elements and the design areas of the portal which they reflect are detailed below.
Skins
A skin is the design applied to the standard DotNetNuke portal to change the layout and design. A skin package is a zip file includes the HTML layout, images, and may also include a stylesheet.
Containers:
A skin package must be uploaded to your File Manager and can be globally added or removed on the Site Settings tab, or under the Tab Settings of each tab.
Containers frame individual modules and can be applied to one or more modules, or can be set globally across all modules.
A container package are uploaded to your File Manager and can be globally managed on the Site Settings tab, or under the Module Settings of each modules.
The Style Sheet:
The default Style Sheet provides a standardized look to the portal. The Style Sheet controls the fonts, colors and styles throughout the portal.
Body Background:
An image or colour can be added to the background of all tabs to further customize the look of the portal. The body background image is tiled.
The image must be uploaded to your File Manager and can be added or removed on the Site Settings tab.

Modules in dnn
Modules:
"Modules" are modular pieces of code that each present some functionality to the user. Popular modules include user forums, photo galleries, blog publishers, directory tools, chat applications, contact managers, and events calendars.
In typical use cases, several modules will be grouped together to create a webpage or intranet page. These modules can easily be added, edited, deleted, restored, moved within a tab, or transfer to another page.
Within the DotNetNuke ecosystem, there are a wide variety of developers continually producing new and exciting modules for the DotNetNuke application framework. These module developers often build modules which they will sell on their sites or through marketplaces or reseller stores- and some offer modules for free. Developers will often offer up their services to design custom modules for their clients.

Extensions in dnn
Extensions:
DotNetNuke was designed to easily fit in to existing computing environments. The core framework includes a series of open APIs that make integration with existing applications simple and straightforward- ensuring businesses can focus on extending features and functionality rather than troubleshooting installations. DotNetNuke comes with over 25 free modules (modular pieces of code with specific functionality). These modules can be easily added, edited, deleted, restored, moved or transferred among pages, and include features like banners, discussion, FAQs, Searches, Weblogs and XML/XSL.
Because DotNetNuke is standards-based and open source, the core technology can easily be extended through a variety of add-on modules available from third-party vendors in the DotNetNuke Marketplace and users within the community.

dotnetnuke-Benefits
Benefits
Is DotNetNuke easy to use?
Yes. DotNetNuke was originally designed for end-users -- everyday people, like those who maintain websites for minor sports associations, non-profits, and charitable groups. This focus on ease of use has been translated into a well-researched and intuitive interface, a site wizard, and help icons throughout.
Is DotNetNuke easy to install? To host?
Absolutely. The DotNetNuke software can be downloaded, installed, and running in short order. In addition, several hosting companies have established DotNetNuke-specific hosting packages, which include the tools and support to make project set-up even easier.
Is DotNetNuke affordable?
Yes. DotNetNuke Community Edition is free, and is suitable for businesses with internal applications and test environments. DotNetNuke Professional Edition includes additional security, stability, and support assurances for production or mission-critical applications, and is available at a substantially lower cost than alternative proprietary solutions.
Is DotNetNuke secure?
Yes. The DotNetNuke community and core team of developers place great emphasis on identifying potential threats, tracking "bugs,” and improving validation and encryption.
Is DotNetNuke static, or can I extend its functionality?
DotNetNuke is both scalable and extensible. While websites can be developed entirely with built-in DotNetNuke features, they can be also be "supercharged" through third-party private assembly tools and private custom assemblies. These add-ons are readily available from DotNetNuke community members and developers, either to purchase or as free offerings.

Web Services
The two types of Web Services:
Reusable application components.
Web services can offer applications components like currency conversion, weather reports, or even language translation as services.
Ideally, there will be only one type of each application component, and anyone can use it in their application.
Connect existing software.
Web services help to solve the interoperability problem by giving different applications a way to link their data.
With Web services you can exchange data between different applications and different platform.
