I want to know more in detail about th developer runtime of silverlight
what is silverlight developer runtime ? and why we need it ?
The developer runtime is a special debugging version of the browser Silverlight plugin. It replaces the release version you would normally install in your browser.
You need it so Visual Studio can debug your Silverlight applications.
Please note that occasionally Silverlight prompts for upgrades. You must not upgrade via a web browser or you will replace your developer runtime with the retail/release version. You want to look for a more recent developer runtime release instead
The developer runtime is needed to be able to debug the Silverlight applications using Visual Studio.

After the retirement of Silverlight, I am finding a hard time finding the Silverlight Developer Runtime for download.
I need to set up a dev environment to compile a Silverlight 5 app with VS 2015.
Any ideas where I can get it?
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 am just wondering whether anyone knows where I can get a compiled version of Windows Ribbon for WinForms 2.2? I can only download the source from the website and as I don't have the Windows 7 SDK (and can't download) I can't compile it.
Even if you could download the DLL (you can't), it is not going to help you. To create your own ribbon for use in your own application you must create a ribbon markup file. That file needs to be compiled by UICC.EXE, a tool that is only available in the Windows 7 SDK. Without that tool, you cannot create your own ribbon.
Downloading the SDK is required. Note that the SDK version that comes with VS2010 is not good enough, it is a sub-set of the SDK and does not include uicc.exe
I am trying to get started doing some Silverlight development. I am interested in learning about the out-of-browser support. I can create and run Silverlight 3 applications just fine. I have confirmed that I have Silverlight 3 instead of Silverlight 3 Beta. I have been able to confirm this because my API list includes Application.InstallStateChanged instead of Application.ExecutionStateChanged.
However, I do not have the option to enable my application to run offline in Visual Studio. I can see this option in this blog post (http://johnpapa.net/silverlight/updated-silvertwit-code-for-msdn-magazine/). Unfortunately, I do not have the option shown or the Reduce XAP size option. I have downloaded the Visual Studio tools from here (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9442b0f2-7465-417a-88f3-5e7b5409e9dd&displaylang=en).
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!
It looks like John Papa is using a new version of visual studio possibly the VS2010 beta.

Corrupted Install
It looks like a corrupted install. Try uninstalling and then see Allen Chen's advice here:
http://silverlight.net/forums/t/83226.aspx including:
Silverlight3_Tools.exe /x:c:\temp /u to manually extract the SL 3 files and c:\temp\SPInstaller.exe to verify the tools install.
Use Blend
Also, If you have Blend 3 installed (preview here) you can enable Out of the Browser inside of Blend. See Project->Silverlight Project Options.
One thing might be that your Silverlight developer runtime got corrupted/overwritten. Try installing it once and see if it solves...

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.

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.
