Are you even remotely self-aware? Do you need constant instructions regarding simple mechanical skills like breathing?

Visual Studio is a development tool. Silverlight is a platform for wich applications are created - USING VISUAL STUDIO.

They don't do the same thing.

Visual Studio is an IDE (a tool that makes writing code easier).
Silverlight is a programming language.

Visual Studio can 'assist' programmers to write code in Silverlight.
