ASP.NET provides a platform for building cross-browser, cross-platform data driven web applications. However, there was a gap in the .NET technology continuum, Silverlight came to fill this gap and provide a rich user experience cross-browse, and cross-platform. Unfortunately Silverlight 2 did not include built in support for Arabic text. As part of Santeon’s commitment to the developers community, we are releasing this set of components in order to enable Arab developers to develop rich applications for Arab users.“ commented Mr. Yasser Makram, Santeon Sr. Software Architect.
