copied!<p>I would recommend switching to SL4 if you want many advanced features which are present in a traditional desktop Application. Some of them are</p> <ul> <li>You can have better <code>clipboard</code> support -- I just heard about it, have to check it out</li> <li>Printing support will be added. At present it is not there</li> <li>At present if you try to scroll a <code>DataGrid</code> using your mouse ball, it doesn't work. It is there in SL4</li> <li>You can create <code>right-click</code> menus to handle right-clicks. Reminds you of desktop apps?</li> <li>You need <code>Microphone</code> access? Or <code>webcam</code> access? At present Flash can do it but Silverlight cannot. It is there in upcoming SL4</li> <li>I heard that <code>RichTextArea</code> is also coming. I need to confirm this and tell</li> <li>Somone I know was talking about support for codecs like <code>H.264</code>! Since Microsoft has paid the royalty for H.264 to <code>MPEG LA</code>, they can probably think of putting it inside Silverlight 4 for streaming videos. My 2 cents :)</li> <li>Probably they are giving some more enhancement in DataGrid apart from mouse-wheel. Let's see.</li> </ul> <p>Apart from that as far as I remember from the Silverlight 4 beta announcements, can anyone confirm?</p> <ul> <li>Notification API</li> <li>COM Support</li> <li>Better themeing support</li> <li>Drag and Drop</li> </ul> <p>Probably the list is endless.</p> <p>OTOH if you want a list of what's new in Silverlight 3, you probably need to read the release notes or here are a few things, I have no idea if you need them or not.</p> <ul> <li><code>NetworkStatus</code> API to check if network is available or not. i.e. Connected/Disconnected</li> <li>It can use <code>GPU</code> to relieve your CPU from the heavy stress</li> <li>If you want to make beautiful UIs, then <code>Pixel Shader</code> can come to your use.</li> <li>I have never tried, but heard that there is <code>Perspective 3D</code> support too.</li> </ul>
