    <p>Speculating is fun. Or we could actually try a test or two...</p> <p>That <a href="http://silverlight.net/samples/sl2/silverlightchess/run/Default.html" rel="noreferrer">Silverlight vs. Javascript chess sample</a> has been updated for Silverlight 2. When I run it, C# averages 420,000 nodes per second vs. Javascript at 23,000 nodes per second. I'm running the dev branch of Google Chrome (v. 0.4.154.25). That's still almost an 18x speed advantage for Silverlight.</p> <p>Primes calculation shows a 3x advantage for Silverlight: calculating 1,000,000 primes in <a href="http://www.tobinharris.com/primes.html" rel="noreferrer">Javascript</a> takes 3.7 seconds, in <a href="http://www.itwriting.com/primetest/index.html" rel="noreferrer">Silverlight</a> takes 1.2 seconds. </p> <p>So I think that for calculation, there's still a pretty strong advantage for Silverlight, and my gut feel is that it's likely to stay that way. Both sides will continue to optimize, but there are some limits to what you can optimize in a dynamic language.</p> <p>Silverlight doesn't (yet) have an advantage when it comes to animation. For instance, the <a href="http://www.bubblemark.com/" rel="noreferrer">Bubblemark</a> test shows Javascript running at 170 fps, and Silverlight running at 100 fps. I think we can expect to see that change <a href="http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2008/11/16/update-on-silverlight-2-and-a-glimpse-of-silverlight-3.aspx" rel="noreferrer">when Silverlight 3 comes out, since it will include GPU support</a>.</p>

    1. COThe latest Bubblemark numbers for Silverlight 3.0 (with bitmap caching enabled) show Silverlight beating Flash pretty handily and JavaScript by a reasonable margin.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
