IIS & Web hosting: Silverlight support in IIS Developer Express

Does IIS Developer Express support Silverlight hosting? This is a question that came in to mind when I started reading ScottGu's blog post about IIS Express edition. There was no mention about Silverlight support in the original blog post. I was trying to read between lines to figure out will Microsoft intentionally remove support for Silverlight just to make the IIS Developer Express really "light".

Later, I found in one of the responses posted by ScottGu that IIS Developer Express really support Silverlight. This is a good news for Silverlight developers.

Here is the comments from ScottGu from his official blog:

@Steve,

>>>>>>>> So let me clarify - IIS Express will not only allow you to enable 
SSL scenarios just like the full IIS, but will also install a certificate 
for you to test with? Or did I read that wrong? Would this also then allow 
you to test WCF transport security scenarios with a Silverlight client for 
example?

Yep - that is correct.  That should allow you to test WCF transport 
security scenarios with Silverlight.

Hope this helps,

Scott
