About Silverlight.FX

Silverlight.FX is an application framework for building Rich Internet Applications based on Silverlight 2.

The focus is on enabling applications to be naturally better architected by providing the right building blocks including:

• Promoting separation of view/code through well established patterns like IoC, MVVM, MVC
• Encapsulating functionality into reusable components like behaviors and services
• Making the right concepts declarative (eg. effects, behaviors)
• Overall better structuring of the application (eg. themes, controls)

Another equally important focus is on keeping the framework lean and mean and being mindful of size - this is all about being a RIA/Web-friendly framework. Currently the library comes in at ~70K compressed.

You can read more about this framework and its features on various blog posts on http://www.nikhilk.net. Its dedicated project page is at http://projects.nikhilk.net/SilverlightFX.
