Can I use silverlight to replace javascript and jQuery?

Question

I have a web application that makes heavy use of jQuery. I would like to start using Silverlight in its place, if possible. Instead of using jquery ajax functions and other jquery functions, I would like to use silverlight. Is it possible to do this with Silverlight?

Answer 1

Various tools. jQuery is best suited for managing the DOM. Silverlight (supposedly) is best suited for rich Internet applications, and not for managing the DOM. If your web application is trying to create a cool user interface using JavaScript, Silverlight may be suitable for replacing tons of JavaScript code.

Answer 2

If an application uses jQuery, it is now replaced by Silverlight, most likely, this will not only lead to the reuse of your jQuery functions, but also to HTML processing, CSS, form processing and really to your application depending on what it does and how it being developed now.

I agree with Jonathon, they are really two different tools.
