I have never programmed web sites. I know that I can create web sites using ASP.
So is it possible to create full web site with Silverlight? Or does Silverlight only support web forms?
Yes I suppose you could.
However, would it be the right choice for your target market?
Silverlight market share : 65%
Flash market share : 95%
Javscript - pretty much everyone
HTML - everyone
If you're tarketing the whole world, personally I wouldn't use silverlight for the whole site, just for features that required it (and even then, I'd write a HTML only backup version for people who don't have silverlight).
However, if you're writing it for a company that you know has silverlight installed and you're familiar with silverlight then go for it!
theoretically it's possible, but I don't think it's really recommended when some environments stop supporting plug-ins as java/flash/silverlight...
I suppose Html5 is the best choice for web development.
Here is a flow chart to help you in your decision

I have just started out doing web development projects for clients and I have done two so far using NextJS, NuxtJS along with headless WordPress for the CMS. As I also have a full time job these projects take a fair amount of time and I end up working constantly.
I have recently come across Webflow and have messed around with it to see how it works. It seems like if I used Webflow and the CMS is provides I could get through projects much quicker than I would currently.
Do you think that for freelancing using a tool like Webflow is a better idea than what I am currently doing?
I currently use Webflow for client projects and I use Next.js at work. I would highly recommend using Webflow for the following reasons on most web dev client projects.
Speed of customization (You can create components in Webflow and copy and past them into new projects, which allows you to reuse standard parts in seconds)
CMS already integrated.
Ability to easily give clients access to edit their own content if they need
Easily edit SEO settings
Easily connect other tools like Zapier and Memberstack if you need

I am a bachelor's undergraduate. For my third year computer project I am hoping to develop a e-commerce website using angularJs and asp.net web API as I have a basic understanding of it. But I have some of questions with my choice.
1) For a E-commerce web app is it a bad decision to develop using above technologies?
2) Will i be able to handle images and other datatypes combined together with text?
3) Would i be able to handle large amounts of Data?
Thank you very much in advance.
1) Yes. Just as much as you could do any other major stack. Depends on how you implement it. E-commerce is a very generic term. There can be e-commerce web apps with 4 pages or 400 pages. These things really determine your tech stack.
2) Yes. Just as much as you could do any other major stack.
3) Yes, but that depends on what DB you use as well.

what is the significance of asp.net webpart controls in today applications?
Where in we have AJAX,JQuery, MVC Controls are being used in today application.Does Webpart Controls still being used? Need to now know more detail in this regard.
Webparts are still quite significant in the Sharepoint/intranet world. However outside of sharepoint I've not seen a lot of development take place around this particular piece of ASP.net.
Non-sharepoint/intranet applications, especially those applications that are public facing would do much better using AJAX/jquery and more open and widely used technologies. This is of course my opinion. But webparts are a little "heavy" for sites/applications that have to keep the general public in mind.
One significance of WebParts is, that it isn't implemented in mono, meaning you can't port your code to non-windows platforms if you use them. Apart from that, now that ASP.NET finally has a MVC framework, I wouldn't use anything with a postback architecture.

I am fairly new at web development scene, and I was wondering if you can help me break up the pros and cons of using python django vs asp.net mvc besides the maturity level of its framework.
I have intermediate experience with Java. As of right now, I am leaning towards Python, but I just wanted to make sure, I am making the right choice. I find myself limited with books available on asp.net web developments. I am aware that there is the storefront example on the official asp.net site. However, that tutorial was a little hard for me to follow. I've done a research around and was hoping python could be my next available choice. There are more tutorials available online for Python anyways.
What do you think?
It always make sens to do some research regarding technologies trends and professionals demand, you can do this by using Google tools, such as Google Trends
It will save you time and help you to choose right direction. See more details about technology research here. Happy coding!
ASP.NET MVC is pretty cool if you already know C# and/or ASP... but if you're starting from scratch, Django is (IMO) a better bet. You probably have more hosting options for Django, for one thing.

So, I am working on an app that needs heavy "cell" calculations in a web-based app. The client needs to be able to change values, even the formulas... calculate totals etc, all on the client side in basically a "spreadsheet".
These requirements are pretty strict :(
I am wondering if there is any library or any way to utilize Excel through a web page? Would Silverlight provide any benefit? One thing I was thinking about is that we need some of the same functionality on the client and server (formula calculating), so Silverlight would be great for the re-usability of our C#. Any help is greatly appreciated!
EDIT 1: ## It is not a public facing application.
Have you considered using Excel itself? Could be a particularly good option for a non-public-facing app.
You can embed .NET code into Excel, including a custom UI and web services calls, with a technology called VSTO. It gives you full programmatic control over cells, formulas, etc. Very cool!
Excel Web Services?

SpreadsheetGear for .NET will do it.
Here is an article by Deane Barker who had a similar question on stackoverflow.
Even Microsoft uses SpreadsheetGear for Excel based calculators on it's MSN Money site as you can see here.
You can find live ASP.NET samples here and download the free trial here.
