hello

shilpa

You need more than the SDK to debug silverlight, the Silverlight Tools for Silverlight 3 which also includes the version of the runtime that is debuggable.

You may also need to install the Silverlight 4 developer runtime, since its quite likely you will run into a site the requires silverlight 4 but installing the standard 4 runtime will put you at square one.

This is the link to the silverlight 4 dev runtime:-

The Solution is

1. You might already have lower version Silverlight chainer. So uninstall everything related to Silverlight from Control panel Add and Remove programs.
2. Download and install the Silverlight Developer run time (any version you want) EX: 3.0
3. Download and install Silverlight 3.0 Tools
4. Create and Run the application. The application will run successfully.
