How can I make a product showcase in Silverlight?

Answer 1

It's all possible, but you need to break the task down into smaller steps.

Once you've done that you should find that you can solve some of these with your current knowledge, others will resolve themselves with a little more research, but there will be some you need to ask questions about here.

I'd suggest you start that break down and try to solve the little problems. Then if you get stuck come back and ask more specific questions.

Answer 2

Well, with Silverlight and c# you can make the animations needed and such, and you can set a Silverlight Image control with a data bound source, so it loads the images dynamically, but Silverlight can't talk with databases directly, you'll need to use a webservice to interact between Silverlight and the database. Don't know how much you know but to not leave anything out, with Expression Blend you can make the graphical part of you're app fast and easy, and with Visual Studio you'll add the code-behind and functionality.
