Hi,

I am looking for a document or a web page to understand the advantages and disadvantages of one over the other. When Javascript is more appropriate and when Silverlight? What are the differences in performance and browser compatibility?

Mansour,

I haven't worked with either enough to have a strong opinion but I can point to a couple of ESRI posts on this topic.  I would also like to hear what others thinks but the fact this is in the Silverlight forum we may not get a non-bias opinion.

To all of the discussions, i would like to add that SL (.net) will have more examples and user base - if you use less chartered territory, there will be less guiding bystanders to help you out.

hope it helps.

ravi.
