Desklighter - The Silverlight to exe converter

Lastweek Identitymine released its new product called Desklighter.It's a tool to convert silverlight application / site to a standalone windows exe application.ie A silverlight to exe converter.One can use this it they are in a situation which demands a standalone silverlight application.


Application areas
  1. Presentations :
    Since Silverlight is a rich presentation technology one can easily create presentations and publish in their sites.But currently that cannot be viewed without an internet connection.But Desklighter allows you to store Silverlight presentations in your hard disk and view it without internet connection.Very much useful in marketing,education..
  2. Games :
    Silverlight games can be played offline.(Unless they are networked to store scores or multiuser)
  3. Offline Silverlight browsing :
    Developers can create entire sites using Silverlight and if they handle the online and offline conditions it can be converted using Desklighter to use it as standalone application.The network operations ie data loading and saving should be programmed to be done whenever the net connection is available.
Currently desklighter is in identitymine blendables labs as a free download.More technical details can be found here.The future releases may extend support on Linux and Mac desktop machines where the current version supports only windows desktop.

Crossfader.com is a site for musicians to explore their works which is developed entirely using silverlight.They can share,collaborate and stage their valuable works.

It was great opportunity for me to start with Silverlight 2.0 with WPF Experience in hand.Learned so many technologies such as WCF,JSON LINQ Etc.

Thanks to Identitymine my company for giving such an opportunity.Another one I would like to express my thanks is David J Kelly ,the architect of the project for his valuable support.He was busy writing his first book but he helped us a lot.And to my team Haridas,Vijay,Roby ,Paul Thomas and Sam for their seamless support.
Hope the crossfader would be live soon in the light of Silver.
