Is JavaScript Required to Run Silverlight 2.0 Applications?

No, you can host and run a Silverlight application also without JavaScript. All that you have to do is adding manually an tag into the page and make it point to a server-side XAP resource. The plug-in will then automatically download the XAP content, instantiate the related class, and generate any user interface in the browser. The XAP file is a sort of zipped archive. In fact, it uses the standard ZIP compression algorithm to reduce the size of the files and minimize the client download. The Silverlight plug-in enables .NET development across a variety of platforms including Windows, Mac and Linux and it brilliantly solves the issue of interoperability that held back the adoption of ActiveX 10 years ago. But what about security? Is it really safe to download and run compiled code over the Internet?
