Is it possible to develop with Silverlight on a Mac?

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.

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!

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.
