Actipro Silverlight Studio v13.2.160

Silverlight Controls and Components

Thank you for downloading the Silverlight Studio control suite from Actipro Software. Silverlight Studio is a suite of user interface controls for Silverlight that include a powerful syntax-highlighting code editor, animated panels, menus, wizards, transitions, and much more.

Licensing

The products you've downloaded or copied are fully functional versions. By using them, you are placed under the terms of the Evaluation License (see the EULA). The "Licensing" product documentation topic provides more details on licensing and how to apply licenses after purchase.

Under this Evaluation License, you may only use the products for evaluation purposes and for a period of 30 days, after which you must either remove all files associated with the products or purchase developer licenses for each developer on a project that use the products. The Evaluation License may render a watermark in the background of various controls, which is removed once fully-licensed.

Purchasing

Licenses for the products may be purchased securely on-line using any major credit card on the Actipro web site. Volume discounts, Site/Enterprise licenses, and Blueprint (source code) licenses are also available.

Each single developer license allows a single developer to work with the licensed product beyond the evaluation period and enables them to distribute any of the files marked as Redistributable royalty-free. Please remember that each developer on a project using a product requires a license for that product.

Installation

To install these products and run a sample application:

  1. Unzip the downloaded .ZIP file to any folder.
  2. Read and agree to the End-User License Agreement (in the EULA).
  3. Run the "Setup" application to install the product. The installer will prompt for "Administrator" privileges at a certain point.
  4. Click the "Actipro Silverlight Controls Sample Browser" item in the Actipro group for these products within your Windows start menu. *

* Only works in Windows versions prior to Windows 8. To open and run the Sample Browser in Windows 8, open the sample project and run it from within Visual Studio instead.

Documentation and the source for sample projects is also located within the Actipro group for these products. **

** If you are running Windows 8, you can show "All apps" in the Start screen and navigate to the "Actipro Silverlight Controls" group to find links to these resources.

Deployment

To deploy an application that uses these products, simply copy the redistributable assemblies described below to the same folder as your application's executable. Nothing else needs to be deployed. For more information on how to embed your license into your application, please read the detailed "Licensing" topic in the product documentation.
