Is there SDK available to download for wpf, as I wanto read that SDK when I don't have internet. Any idea about it, from where can I download SDK for WPF.
WPF is part of Visual studio, you don't need an SDK.
If you want to learn WPF, trying buying a book (an online book as well)
if you want to use it and get help, I think installing MSDN locally will do it.
I think you are talking about the API!? This should be included in the MSDN Library which you can download from here. However, the library is several GB...

I have to modify a very legacy Silverlight 4 application in VS2012.
But I cannot found where can I download SL4 SDK.
Does somebody know where could I find it?
Unfortunately it is not an option to upgraded it to SL5.

It looks like the WayBack Machine has it.

I have confirmed that the Tools download has the SDK in it.
From the Microsoft search results:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/search.aspx?q=silverlight&first=21
You take the bad URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18149
To the way back machine, it will point you in the right direction.
The accepted answer actually provides a link to Silverlight 4 tools for VS2010 but I needed Silverlight 4 SDK
I found this link https://download.microsoft.com/download/B/9/B/B9BDD218-6974-4816-A309-0FC85A105521/sdk/silverlight_sdk.exe, it's not valid anymore but using Wayback Machine I was able to get that file. Here is the link https://web.archive.org/web/20151018151935/https://download.microsoft.com/download/B/9/B/B9BDD218-6974-4816-A309-0FC85A105521/sdk/silverlight_sdk.exe
I want to know if I can automate a Silverlight application with Powershell. If so, is there sample code or a website that has more information about it. So far, I haven't find any useful resources in developing a script to automate Silverlight. I know a similar question was asked here on this site, but the link in the answer no longer works.
I've used C# and Telerik's testing framework for automating Silverlight and WPF. It's free and once configured - easy to use. Since Powershell stays on top of the .Net, I guess you can reuse framework's API or libs. I personally don't see why favor Powershell over C# here.
I'd like to ask anyone out there whether is possible, as of today, to develop a Windows/MacOS cross platform application using WPF (in Visual Studio) and Xamarin.Mac (in Xamarin Studio for Mac). I searched the web, twitted people (Stuart, I know you pointed me to loqu8 build some days ago, but I'm just stuck :P) but nothing really useful came up. So, my questions are:
First and foremost: is it possible?
Is it production ready? If not, how much stable it is? Are there any plans for improving it in the next months?
How do I use MvvmCross in Xamarin Studio, since it seems that NuGet isn't supported on MacOS, and NuGet packages don't target Xamarin.Mac anyway?
How do I create a PCL in Visual Studio since Xamarin.Mac isn't insalled on Windows? Do I have to create it on MacOS and the copy the project in Visual Studio?
More could follow...
Thanks for any answers!
First and foremost: is it possible?
Yes. Several developers have used it.
But it's not a "main target" for MvvmCross - our main focus is still on Windows, Droid and iOS which is what users have requested the most.
Is it production ready? If not, how much stable it is? Are there any plans for improving it in the next months?
It's not included in the main nuget packages - because nuget doesn't really support monomac or xammac packages very well. There are no plans to change this that I know of.
You have to build it yourself. You can do this from the main mvvmcross repo - or from branches like https://github.com/loqu8/MvvmCross/ who have done a lot of work on it.
How do I use MvvmCross in Xamarin Studio, since it seems that NuGet isn't supported on MacOS, and NuGet packages don't target Xamarin.Mac anyway?
Currently the best advice is to build and use the assemblies yourself.
How do I create a PCL in Visual Studio since Xamarin.Mac isn't insalled on Windows? Do I have to create it on MacOS and the copy the project in Visual Studio?
You can add additional PCL targets using the XML files - see old posts like http://slodge.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/cross-platform-winrt-monodroid.html about how we previously did this for MonoDroid/Touch
To build MonoMac/XamMac projects in VS, see http://tofutim.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/adding-monomac-and-xammac-to-visual.html

C# will become the most powerful cross platform programming languae
I just found out that, Sonar does not support Silverlight 5, but it does support Silverlight 4. I thought, if I can take a look at Sl4 plugin code and I might able to add Silverlight 5 support. I was going through plugin library but I can't find where is the SL4 plug in code. Could someone point me to where is it hosted and any direction in adding support for SL5. If the work is already in progress, how do I go about help on this project.
Thanks a lot.
The support of Silverlight is implemented in the .Net Core Plugin of the .Net & C# Plugins Ecosystem.
Adding support for SL5 should be quite easy and should be only located on the DotNetConstants class.
If you manage to do what you want, feel free to open a pull request on the projet! :-)
I've been searching through the Microsoft Silverlight site, and I am guessing the answer to my question will be no.
But is there any non official or official version of the Silverlight development SDK for Mac OS?
I want to avoid installing Windows, but I want to develop in Silverlight.
The answer is yes, you surely can. You will need to use eclipse. It isn't as easy, but it sure is possible.
Good luck!

There is also MonoDevelop which is going to support it soon, but its not quite there.
Assuming the answer you get does turn out to be "No"...
I use a VM (Parallels) to run Windows XP on my Mac Pro. The performance of Visual Studio 2008 is actually fine in this setup.
I'm using Mac OS X to develop with Silverlight 3, using IronRuby and IronPython and TextMate. It is very pleasant to use!
You can grab the Silverlight 3 Beta Runtime for Mac here and use it together with AgDlr. Grab the binaries of AgDlr here.
If you want to see samples of code that do work this way, have a look at AgDlr demos.
hope this helps!
