Silverlight applications are built using the .NET Framework, with C# being the primary backend programming language. While other .NET languages like VB.NET can be used, C# is the standard and most widely used language for Silverlight development.

Silverlight projects run in a restricted CLR sandbox and target a specific subset of the .NET framework, meaning they cannot directly reference normal desktop or standard class library projects built for the full CLR.
