Hi Frank, that's a great question. The biggest move with Silverlight was from 1.0 to 2.0, when they added full support for C#. Previously, your code simply existed as scripts (generally JavaScript). But now you can build assemblies in C# that are linked to the Silverlight runtime, which is essentially a scaled-down version of the regular .NET runtime. So the easiest way to look at it is less like scripting a control on an HTML page and more like building a self-contained .NET program.
I'll look for some links that might help you make the move, and post them here.
