1. WCF RIA Services
Microsoft WCF RIA Services simplifies the traditional n-tier application pattern by bringing together the ASP.NET and Silverlight platforms. RIA Services provides a pattern for us to write application logic that runs on the mid-tier and controls access to data for queries, changes and custom operations. It also provides end-to-end support for common tasks such as data validation, authentication and roles by integrating with Silverlight components on the client and ASP.NET on the mid-tier. RIA Services is installed as part of the Silverlight tools for Visual Studio 2010.
2. Developer Runtimes for Windows and OSX
If you’re debugging or testing on machines without the tools installed, you’ll need to use the windows developer runtime or the Mac OSX developer runtime for Silverlight 4. Developers with the tools installed already have these releases.
3. Microsoft Expression Blend 4
Expression Blend allows designers to graphically create UI's for Silverlight applications.
4. Blend 4 SDK
The Blend 4 SDK is included with the Blend 4 installation, but is available separately for those who wish to create behaviors without using Expression Blend.
5. Silverlight Toolkit
This Toolkit is a Microsoft project containing Silverlight controls, components and utilities that can be downloaded and used in your Silverlight applications. It includes full source code, samples and tests.
