There is a lot of talk on the web regarding Silverlight as a replacement for InfoPath in SharePoint implementations. In order to investigate the relative ease of implementation this simple Sudoku application was created in Silverlight 3 using Expression Blend and Visual Studio 2010. Four days were required with the bulk of that time consumed in a learning curve for XAML and the new development suite. Judging from the time required to generate the application EAC is now firmly in the camp that Silverlight will (should be) the most common implementation for SharePoint web parts in the future. No forms server required and Cloud (BPOS) friendly.
Note that the application can be installed locally through the context menu. EAC will be exploiting this feature in a new Expense Report application for SharePoint Online.
