I need to create an online car booking system. Which framework would be better for this purpose? ASP.Net or Silverlight?
A:
As said in comments, pure JavaScript is better as being more universal.
About your question - Silverlight is a client technology, while ASP.NET is first of all a server architecture. You can combine them if needed. But Silverlight so far is not so widespread so if you count for users on alternative platforms, Silverlight might be not the best option.
On the other hand, users of mobile devices (Android, iPhone) like applications more than web pages (as recent study has shown), and most likely you will end up designing an application for those devices in addition to your web page.
