how to install silverlight on raspberry pi

The Visual Studio Community 2013 system requirements are high (1.6 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM and 20 GB disc space) when compared to the Raspberry Pi but Visual Studio will be running on the PC where these resources are commonly available in modern PCs. The previous Express editions did not allow this. The newer version, Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2013 removes this requirement and offers a single download an installer for a multitude of languages and environments.Īnother key change is that Visual Studio Community 2013 supports the installation of add-ons. Previous releases required that developers download a different version of Visual Studio depending upon the development language and platform being used. Microsoft have recently released an update to the free versions of Visual Studio. The good news is that there is no need to wait for Windows 10, you can use Visual Studio to develop C++ applications which will run on the Raspberry Pi today. A recent article in The Mag Pi ( Introducing the “game changing” Raspberry Pi 2, Ian McAlpine, Issue 30, page 23) commented that author would be interested in exploring GPIO development using Visual Studio.

One of the best and simplest development environments to setup on the PC is Microsoft Visual Studio. Being a long term C/C++ developer I wanted an effective development environment for C++ development on the Raspberry Pi.

The new Model B 2 offers some performance and memory improvements over the previous models and it has started to become more attractive as a development platform for embedded projects. The last few months have seen me turn my attention to the Raspberry Pi.
