Hello all, I am looking to make the jump from PHP and Flash/Flex to .net and Silverlight (maybe not a full jump, but I want to be ready when Silverlight takes the lead from Flash)
I'm looking for the common/trusted mvc framework most people use/support and is potentially backed by microsoft
In PHP we have Zend Framework http://framework.zend.com/ this is backed by key contributors to the PHP language
In Flex we have the Cairngorm framework http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/cairngorm/Cairngorm (developed by Adobe consulting) backed by Adobe the creators of Flex
There of course are other frameworks for both PHP and Flex, but a much smaller population base even if they offer some nicer things individually, they lack frequent updates or community support.
So my question is, what is the "accepted standard" framework that people use with .net and/or silverlight?
ASP.NET is web application framework only and I don't recommend to use them directly. Instead, you should use ASP.NET MVC (uses MVC pattern) or ASP.NET WebForms ("component based development") that simplify web application development. Now, we are talking
about server-side. Silverlight is client-side application platform...

For Silverlight I do not know the answer.
But for ASP.NET there are 2 frameworks :ASP.NET and ASP.NET MVC
If you are familiar with HTML/Jscript, I will recommend ASP.NET MVC .
If not, stick first with ASP.NET

Thanks, I'll check out ASP.NET MVC
After searching around I came across MVVM, is there well used application framework that implements that?
