Silverlight, Laszlo and Asp.net

Hi Guys,

I've been using c# and asp.net for some time now. I've recently been looking at the various XML based presentation applications, e.g. XUL, OpenLaszlo, Silverlight and I'm faced with a number of questions...


What are the differences? They all look pretty similar!

Can i integrate OpenLaszlo into a .net project? pass events through to the laszlo xml and basically pull data from my .net application?

If I use silverlight, I guess I'll be forcing people to download it, or they'll just be put off using my app. This is a big drawback for me, is it worth it over one of the other solutions?

What resources can I use to learn how to use these new technologies? :)

Thanks!

Not familiar with OpenLaszlo, however with silverlight, the user needs to have the silverlight plugin installed on the browser.this is very similar to requiring flash player to be installed to view flash content.Please note that you need to weigh your requirements and make a call if you really need silverlight or any of these technologies or if you are better of with the regular asp.net app.

silverlight.net is a good place for silverlight resources
