i read some IBM links and it became unclear that either WL 5.0.6 is WL 6.0? Or is there any difference? If there is a difference then where i can get details of differences.
thanks
Since it is a new version - no it's not same as v5.0.6.
Worklight 6.0 contains new functionality, improved existing functionality, bug fixes, ... all that a new version should have.
Mobile Test Workbench, Geolocation, minification and concatenation for mobile web, operational analytics, and more. Go read What's New in Worklight v6.0.

I have seen answers to this question using other tools but I cannot see how to do it with CN1. If I release a LITE version of an app, what is the process for the user to get the PRO version once they have paid?
Like I said I have seen other answers but they talk about settings within the development studio itself which makes me think that it may be related to the toolset I am using - in this case Codename One.
Thanks.
P.S. I will need to know this for both Android and Apple
This will work for all the platform Codename One supports and is explained in this tip. Effectively you keep two or more codenameone_settings.properties and multiple Main packages/classes. Then toggle them by replacing the codenameone_settings.properties file.
I would like to choose which versions of Silverlight plugin to target, but can't find any recent statistics on the install base, let alone the version break down. Statowl.com/silverlight.php isn't returning any data and riastats.com is down. Some articles are referencing a 76% web clients installation base around 2012 with high Silverlight version 4 usage, but that's pretty outdated information. Does anyone have up to date information for the Silverlight plugin install base, preferably with version breakdown?
The client is backwards compatible. I think you will find most users are running the V5 client as that is pushed out with MS updates and was released 2+ years ago. You can set the min runtime version on the html Silverlight plugin element to alert users running an older version to upgrade to a version compatible with the version your app is compiled against.

I just started a new job where I need to do a new development in Silverlight technology. The existing application is an ASP.NET and GIS application.
What version of Silverlight is recommended to use?
I don't have any experience using Silverlight, please suggest me a good place to start -- Tutorials / Blogs/ resources...
If you are using ArcGIS, then you should use Silverlight 4. The current version of the Esri Silverlight SDK is version 2.4. It is built on top of Silverlight 4. If you are using ArcGIS 10.1, then you can use version 3.0. The current version (beta) of 3.0 is also built on Silverlight 4, but they were talking about building it on Silverlight 5.
Silverlight 5 would be the best bet. You can get lots of tutorials over at http://silverlight.net.
This,this and this are very good and knowledegeable for starters.
This shows many samples of the silverlight controls with source codes.
This shows different practical uses of silverlight with source codes!
If you come across any other queries while development, you can post a question and get suggestions here, on StackOverflow very easily.! :)
I begin to program some handheld program as hobby, right now i currently have knowledge on Blackberry App (Java), Symbian S60 (PyS60) and J2ME
Something that i wanna learn was Windows Mobile/Pocket PC and iPhone development, but since i don't use Mac so i step to Windows Mobile/Pocket PC development
Here some question:
1. Which is better Lazarus or Turbo Delphi.Net?
2. Do both have some kind support of network access (GPRS, Wi-Fi, HSDPA, etc)?
3. Do both have database access, both remote database and standalone/embed database? like SQL Server 2005 CE?
4. Do i need some driver installed on Windows Mobile/Pocket PC to be able to work with SQL Server 2005 Developer on server i already have?
If possible answer point-by-point
Thanks
Lazarus has form designer built in for WinCE applications, Delphi 4.Net doesn't has one, also CG has stopped developing the Turbo Delphi line, and it's support .Net CF 1.1 only.
Maybe using Delphi Prism will be better option, because it's support the latest .net framework, and with the new MonoTouch it could be better option for future development with IPhone too.
Point 2 & 3, I don't have information about them, you could visit Lazarus forums and wiki to have more information, but for Delphi 4.Net it has support for all classes on the .Net framework CF.
4.If I remember correctly, the .Net CF has drivers for SqlServer Mobile edition and Sql Server, for example it has SqlCEConnection for mobile and SqlConnection for Regular Sql server edition.
I never tried Turbo Delphi .NET, but afaik CodeGear stopped that line, so I wouldn't start new development in it. I also heard that CF.NET was not officially supported and a bit ackward. As said I never used it, I hope that others will comment.
Lazarus core functionality works, but many more "outer" parts are not always tested on CE, and you will have to find stuff out yourself.
Roughly the same as under normal delphi/win23. Can access TCP/IP with Indy10 afaik, but to work with network connections you need api calls
sqlite is sometimes used. In theory all the db drivers should run if their client libraries are available to arm. The DB support should mostly be endian clean. However I don't know which ones are supported.
Sql Server variants are generally not supported by FPC, except via ODBC. And I don't know if CE has that.
Usually you need to have some client lib or a generalized DB connectivity lib ADO/ODBC/JDBC.
Browsing the lazarus/fpc wiki for CE topics could be a good next step. If you persist in CF.NET, I would migrate to VS, and not work with TD.NET.
If I would develop something for a handheld, I would create a webapplication. Only if you need to access the handheld data (pim, gps, ...) it makes sense to create a local running application.
But if you want to create something to run on the device, I would go for FPC / Lazarus as well.
Your questions has been answered so I'll reply with my opinions;
Lazarus: It gives you power of
native application, but it's not used
widely. Give it a try, see if it fits
your needs on the mobile device.
Perhaps report bugs and help its
development.
Delphi Prism + .NET
CF: Object-pascal alike .NET syntax
-which I do not like but that's just my opinion-. Here's a sample video
to get started. It lacks form
designer for .NET CF so if you stick
with it you'll use WinForms designer.
C# + .NET CF. It has really good
IDE for .NET CF development. This is
how I rolled for mobile device
development and I'm happy with it.
ie, if I have a problem the huge .NET
userbase most likely has the
solution.
I noticed a few tweets this morning about a new version of Silverlight having been released - Silverlight 2 GDR 1 (2.0.40115.0). Details of what/why/should I target it/is it backward compatible/etc seem incredibly thin on the ground.
Hitting this Silverlight page on Microsoft.com tells me my version (RTW) is now out of date and I should upgrade to GDR 1. But hitting silverlight.net - there's no mention of it, the Silverlight elements on the page don't tell me my version is out of date and the Getting Started page still links to RTW tools.
This kinda leads me to presume that if you upgrade your dev tools to target the GDR release, then your users will need to upgrade their Silverlight install also?
A few details on what's in GDR can be found in the release notes - but it sure would be nice if Microsoft would clarify it's purpose and suggested adoption. Anyone got any more details?
Tim Heuer explains all: http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2009/02/19/silverlight-2-gets-minor-update-gdr1.aspx
It seems to be only bug fixing.
So if your applications (so your users) are not concerned by those bugs, it is not mandatory to update your plugin for the moment.
