can i record the sound with microphone, with help of flash or silverlight??
Yes. Both technologies allow you to do this, though the methods for doing so differ. I can't give details on a Flash implementation of it, but Tim Heuer's video gives a good walkthrough of how can access both the webcam and the microphone in Silverlight.

I'm not certain about flash but with silverlight I know that you can't.
Probably never will be able to do so. Think about browsing to a silverlight site that activates your microphone and records conversation in your office. Sounds like a bad idea to me!

can anyone explain the different between Flash and Silverlight to me?
I understand Flash in a program which can export SWF or FLV formats for users to play on the web using Flash Player. How does Silverlight compare to this? Is it a player or a development tool? Also does it export video file types such as those Netflix uses?
Too many. I have worked on both and Flash is my favorite. Just go Wiki for the difference. I think if you have any specific question related to that which says any particular feature needed to be compared, that will be good.
The differences are many, but the main difference is they are competing products from competing companies (Microsoft Silverlight/Adobe Flash). Both are on the way out of favor, but still continue to be used for functions that have not been 100% replaced with open standards yet. Such as video codec support and DRM.
Since there are no answers yet, I'm going to rewrite this question in hopes of an answer (I don't mind discussion, but I know SO is about Q&A). It appears security checks/prompts make it unfeasible to use Flash Player. With this in mind, the question still stands, but please answer based on experience using AIR.
I have a Winforms app written in C# that I need to add VOIP to. I really like how well the Flash Player VOIP solution works, the AEC (echo cancel) is awesome. I know they use Speex, but the implementation is still a lot of work even using Speex, so I'd like to use Adobe's solution directly in my app.
Has anyone done this? What issues will I have? A few I can think of:
IPC between AIR and Winforms app. I assume this is easy and several options, including sockets/network, file i/o, maybe others.
Based on this
Content running in the AIR application sandbox does not need the
permission of the user to access the microphone
I don't think security warnings will be an issue? I'm not sure what a sandbox is yet, but as long as my AIR app can run in this and still talk with my winforms app, then shouldn't be an issue.
I assume the voice capture including enhancements (AEC, NS, Speex, etc) are supported in AIR?
Are there any samples I can run that use voice capture in AIR?
What are the current possibilities to run silverlight on the iPad please ?
Other than the video streaming MS demo of course.
If there's no official packages or something, I'm interested in hacks too
Thanks
Have a look at this article:

Also, perhaps you can give us more of an idea what you are trying to achieve with silverlight for a more detailed answer?
You should also bear in mind that the main issue is the support on the apple devices - a political decisions by Apple. There are ways and means to get the support unofficially, but I can vouch for them being flawed and as good as useless.
NO. There isn't anything available right now...
Try alternative solution.
With ABYTY Browser you can run any Flash and Silverlight apps for business and entertainment like on desktop.
For view Silverlight or Flash on your iPhone (iPad, iPod) you not need of jailbreaking it or installing any applications from the App Store or Cydia. You not need install flash player or silverlight on your iphone. Simply open link ABYTY Browser from iDevice and follow appeared instructions. At this moment it little bit ugly and not have sound, but working in basic on iPhone and iPod too.
I am trying to play a movie (wmv,avi,mpg,etc.) in a winforms application. I would like the user to be able to start, stop and pause.
I'm not looking for a full answer ... I just need pointed in the right direction. I've already did some searching on google but could not find anything useful. I can continue searching but I know the stackoverflow community rocks.
So, please point me in the right direction!
Thanks.
I think this is probably the path of least resistance:

You could use Windows Media Player ActiveX control.
You could also embed a WPF control that contains a MediaElement control.
Another alternative is to use the VLC library instead of Windows Media Player. The VLC Forums have a number of wrappers that can be used in C#.
I have not done a comparison of VLC versus Windows Media Player, but it is alot less resource intensive then the WPF media elements.
If I remember correctly VLC also has built in support for alot of video formats, potentially making it a better choice I guess.
One possibility is to use the Forms.WebBrowser class. This will give you an embedded web browser so you can install what ever player and plugins you need.
It depends on how complicated you want to get, but I've had luck implementing DirectShow before. It's definitely more complicated than a drop on control, but it's really flexible for different formats and loading codecs.
My Silverlight app successfully plays a repeating alert sound every ten seconds on a number of my own computers. One of my clients hears no sounds. I was just on the phone with him and verified that he could hear basic Windows sounds, sounds from another application, and sounds from another web page (not Silverlight, however) within IE.
Does anyone know of any settings which might affect Silverlight's ability to play sounds on a system which otherwise sounds (ha, ha) fine?
Thanks,
Ben
Maybe he has a problem with his DirectX (or more specifically DirectSound) installation.
