####Visual Studio 2010 (includes support for Web Developer Express edition)

1. Fork and then clone the repo or download the .zip file.
2. Assure that Visual Studio 2010 is capable of building Silverlight 5 projects. See the ArcGIS API for Silverlight system requirements for details.
3. Two Visual Studio 2010 solutions are included. One with C# code (ArcGISSilverlightSDK_VS2010.sln), and the other with VB code (ArcGISSilverlightSDK_VBNet_VS2010.sln). Each solution contains two projects, a Silverlight project and a web host application. In Visual Studio, open the C# or VB solution.
4. Colorized text in the XAML and code-behind views is generated using logic in the SyntaxHighlighting.dll included with the Silverlight project under the Support folder. Since the assembly is included with the source code on GitHub, you may need to unblock it before building and running the application.
5. In the Solution Explorer, right-click the c:...\ArcGISSilverlightSDKWeb\ project and select "Set as StartUp Project". Select the Default_VS2010.htm page, right-click and select the "Set as Start Page" option.
6. Clean and build the solution. The Silverlight project contains a pre-build event that restores Nuget packages for the following dependencies:

• ArcGIS API for Silverlight (portion of Blend SDK for Silverlight 5 included with Behaviors package)
• Silverlight 5 Toolkit (includes Core and Input packages)
• Microsoft Async
  References to the Microsoft Async assemblies have been removed from the samples project for Visual Studio 2010. Use of Microsoft Async functionality with Silverlight 5 requires Visual Studio 2012 or greater. Samples that reference the task async pattern are not available in Visual Studio 2010.

7. Run the application.

####Visual Studio 2012/2013 (includes support for Express for Web editions)

1. Fork and then clone the repo or download the .zip file.
