coding in vb.net but designing GUI with silverlight
Hi,
I am trying to code an application in VB.net but visual studio design options are very basic I wanted to design the GUI with silverlight, is this possible?
If it is possible, what would be the best option to do this?

Yes, sure it is possible... Starting with Silverlight 2.0, the code-behind is no longer bound to be Javascript, but can be any .NET language, including VB.net.
However, are you aware that Silverlight is meant for targeting rich-client web applications, that run in a browser? Maybe what you actually have in mind (if you are talking about a desktop application) is using WPF for the UI, and not Silverlight?

For ANY XAML based UI...definately look at the Expression set of tools!!!!!!

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; in practice there is.
