I have never used Silverlight before but have been provided a copy of the package, (see link below).
https://github.com/ivconsult/eNeg
Please could I request guidance on how I would compile this and can this be run from desktop or would it need to be uploaded to a server.
Forgive, my poor understanding of how this works any help appreciated . . .
Your question is a bit rough. You can run any silverlight application locally on your development PC. In order to open and compile the project you have to install:
A .NET Integrated Development Environment (IDE) such as Visual Studio or the free Visual Web Developer Express
Install Microsoft Silverlight runtime for windows. (This is the runtime that’s required for Silverlight applications).
Install Silverlight Toolkit
Install Silverlight SDK
Install Silverlight Tools for VS 2010 (Optional)
Install Expression Blend. This is a design tool that allows users to
interact with Silverlight.
After this, open the solution file "citPOINT.eNeg.sln".

I have used PhpStorm my entire life but now I am very much inspired by AngularJS and ionic so I am learning to code hybrid mobile apps. I downloaded the Visual Studio and installed and it already had around 6GB.
Now I need to download additional Cross Platform Mobile Development package but it looks like I need to download additional 27GB.
Do I really need to download this huge file? I genuinely need from pros whether I need to download entire package or I can skip few. Internet speed sucks here in India and on the downloading another 27GB AngularJS 3 will be out.
Visual Studio
first of all absolutely you don't have to download all them plugin.. second if you want you caan use other good IDE as maybe Visual studio Code
https://code.visualstudio.com/
But if you want to use Visual Studio (as I'm doing ..but because i also develop the back end in Asp.Net WebAPI 2) .. you can skip the installation of (SO DON'T HAVE TO INSTALL) for ionic development:
C#/Xamarin (it's for develop other kind of Cross Platform Mobile Development .. not Hybrid)
Miscorsoft Visual Studio Emulator (you can use the Ionic tools from command line .. es: ionic serve --lab or also run it on your device and attach them to your browser to debug)
I am trying to build a setup-msi using visual studio for my wpf application.
The issue i am facing is that i force primary output from wpf project to the setup project
and the dependencies are calcaluted automatically.
I run the msi locally (on the machine i built the wpf app) and everything works fine.
The problems start when i try to install it on different machines.
On other machines i run the installation process and it finishes justfine
but when i try to run the application i get exceptions about assemblies that could not be found.(e.g System.Web , Version=4,0,0,0 could not be found etc)
I really suck building setup projects but can anybody give a hand?
P.S.: I also tried installShield... same results.
I would guess that the target machine only had .NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile installed. System.Web is in .NET Framework 4.0 Extended, which is installed with the full 4.0 Framework but not with the Client Profile.
Are you bootstrapping .NET 4 in your setup?
Check for the presence of "Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile" and "Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Extended" in Add/Remove Programs (XP) or Programs and Features (Vista/7) on the machines where the application ran fine and those where it gave that error.
Edit: .NET Framework Deployment Guide for Developers. That should help you figure out how best to deploy it.
I have just been informed that the Silverlight 4 Toolkit (latest download) requires the prior installation of VS 2010.
We are setting up an automated build server for a very large Silverlight Prism project and would prefer not to do a full install of VS 2010 on an unmanned build machine.
Is VS 2010 actually required for an install of the Silverlight 4 Toolkit?
Why is it required?
Is it possible to work around this (copy specific pieces from another Dev machine?)
Thanks in advance for any information.
The problem with this is that it doesn't install the msbuild tasks. I have found that it is possible to install just the SDK by extracting it from the tools download. For details see here: http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2010/09/building-silverlight-4-applications.html.
Don't install the Toolkit at all. In these large controlled scenarios you would probably want to copy the toolkit dlls to folder owned by your change control system anyway.
Ultimately the toolkit is just a set of dlls. On install it does other things to make using it as a developer convenient in VS and Blend but it has no special requirements at build time.
I have deployed website using silverlight 3.0.40307.0. It is working perfectly in Local IIS. But when client will installs the newer version of silverlight like 3.0.40626 or higher, It wan't be able to view website.
How to get silverlight 3.0.40307 (old version of 3.0 beta)?
What is the possible solution to deploy silverlight website on IIS?
What silverlight component should be installed on server to view silverlight application on browser?
Can we install silverlight TOOL without VS2008+SP1? if yes, then how?
You need to upgrade your version of Silverlight to the released version. You can't expect users to run beta software because you would be forcing them to use software that is known to contain defects.
You need to download the latest version of the SDK and templates from here.
Clients need only the Silverlight runtime plugin for their browser. There's no way you can enforce the client to install the SL 3 Beta version of the plugin you want; and even if you do, there's no (easy) way to prevent it from self-updating to the RTM version. Not only that, but asking clients to install a Beta version of a released product is a security threat for them.
There's no official way to get the SL 3 Beta runtime installer.
An SL app is a client-side code; on the server side you only need standard IIS that serves HTML with an tag and the .xap file for the SL application.
There are no SL components required to be installed on the server for the client to run the SL app.
You can't install the Silverlight Visual Studio Tools without VS2008 SP1 - as their name suggests, the tools are intended to integrate with VS. However, you can install the SL SDK and build SL applications without having VS2008 SP1. (Alternatively, you could use MonoDevelop/Mono/Moonlight to develop SL applications)
If you have deployed your silverlight app that is compiled with Silverlight version 3.0.4.0307.0(i.e. Silverlight Beta), your app may work perfectly for the users with Silverlight 3(RTM).
However, if those visitors come across your silverlight app who doesn't have Silverlight installed at all(or maybe lower than Silverlight 3 Beta), they will be prompted to download Silverlight to view your app.
Once they wish to download Silverlight runtime by clicking on the "Get Silverlight" button, visitors will be redirected to Silverlight download location, and the most important part is
**They will get a message explaining that this app is made with Beta version of the Silverlight.
So this may hamper thier experience and impression about your silverlight app and because of this very few people can get to your app correctly **
It is my suggestion that you try to compile your project with Silverlight 3 as early as possible .
Regarding 2nd question What is the possible solution to deploy silverlight website on IIS?
Here is the Answer : You'll need to register the MIME types for xap on your server.
I already own Visual Studio 2008 Team Version, and have an MSDN subscription...and I am an experienced ASP.Net developer.
What do I need to install to do Silverlight development, and can all of those tools be installed alongside my current "production" development machine (want to make sure there will not be any side effects).
I know I want to learn silverlight, but its not clear to me which tools are required and/or recommended in order to get started...
Thanks.

This link has pretty much every thing you need.
If you're already comfortable with VS development, you can just develop Silverlight in VS by downloading the Microsoft Silverlight Tools for Visual Studio 2008.
If you're more of a designer than devloper, then Microsoft Expression Studio may be better for you.
Follow the steps here:-

I have no problems using this stuff side-by-side with my regular development
Silverlight.net is a good place to start. All the tools are finalized so you should be able to install all things silverlight and be fine.
I am also trying to get started with Silverlight development.
Here is how I was getting started.
1.) To set up development environment: Getting started with Silverlight
2.) Web Sites to keep up with.
MSDN Silverlight Development Center
Shawn Wildermuth: He has turn from an ADO guy to a Silverlight guru/trainer.

I have Visual Studio 2003/5/8(+Resharper 4.1) installed on my machine along side siliverlight SDK and Expression Suite.
So far I have not seen any side effects even after installing all those tools on my dev machine after few months.
You can use Silerlight Spy to view the 'reflected' source code of any Silverlight application on the web. But, you can also use it to validate the structure of the components in your running application. The debugging experience reminds me of working with Firebug while trying to decipher the viusal structure of a web page.
In addition to the visual studio stuff, you should probably get blend and all of it's service packs.
