Does IE 11 support applications developed in Silverlight 5?

We have developed a web application with using Silverlight 5. We are facing problems in IE 11. The application is not even loading in IE 11. But it is working fine in IE 10 and other browsers like Chrome and Mozilla.
When we debug, the "Silverlight.__startup();" function itself is not called when we focused the silverlight object. Could you please clarify for us whether will IE 11 support Silverlight applications or not. If yes, could you please provide some tips / suggestions to load the SL application in IE 11. If you can able to provide a sample app, that will be great for me.
Also, we are using jquery 1.4.1 version. Will IE 11 support this version or not. If not, which version of jquery we have to use in IE 11?
You should upgrade to the latest version of jQuery.
In principle, Desktop IE11 will support Silverlight in the Trusted Sites and Intranet zones.
The Immersive version of IE (Win8/Win8.1 app environment) doesn't support add-ons.
Silverlight is a legacy add-on which is not compatible with Enhanced Protected Mode, which is now on-by-default in the Internet Zone.
I just install IE11 replacing IE10 on Windows 7, and all my application Under Silverlight work fine.
What I have done :
option Internet Intranet : allow initialize activeX
Parameter compatibility : set to Trust my Intranet Server.
Surprise : I can look demo of Devexpress.com on Silverlight, without any change on security on Internet

How to detect whether the client machine has installed silverlight?

i am using silverlight 5 and hosted the SL5 application.
As we all have seen, when we come in the homepage of this website, we will see a message telling us to install silverlight if we haven't installed silverlight. How to detect if the client machine has not installed silverlight ?
if not installed i need to show a custom message and take the user into micorsoft site in order to download the silverlight instead of the install silverlight message.
i have verified the below URL and did the same thing..

Please take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc838126(v=vs.95).aspx
The Silverlight.js file does all the magic. In fact you if you create a new silver light project in Visual Studio 2010 detection of Silverlight and automatic install is all handled for you.
Silverlight Install and Upgrade Experience has all the information on customizing the install experience

Client.Bin not update when integrated into ASP.net project

I am creating a Silverlight application using .Net 4.0 and integrating it into an ASP.net project that created in .Net 3.5.
Whenever I make a change in the Silverlight project the changes are not reflected into the ASP.net project
You need to ensure your Silverlight app and the website are connected
Adding it to the solution is not enough. You need to make a Silverlight relationship between the website and your Silverlight application.
Right-click on your website project and select Properties.
Choose the Silverlight Applications tab on the left side
Press Add...
Leave Use an existing Silverlight project in the solution checked and select the project you want to add from the Project dropdown.
Leave Add a test page that references the control checked if you want a separate test page for your application.
Press Add and you are done.
The website will now build your Silverlight application and include the output Xap file in its ClientBin folder.

Do Silverlight 5 trusted In-browser apps support MDI windows?

I know Silverlight OOB apps support them but what is the case for full trust in browser?
So for example you could click on a stock link in a trading application and we would pop out window that shows you some details about the stock price such as realtime updating charts etc...
We want this as a true window not a Javascript popup or a ChildWindow in SL.
From this blog (linked from silverlight.net): http://10rem.net/blog/2011/04/13/silverlight-5-working-with-operating-system-windows and the official Silverlight blog: http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/10-Laps-around-Silverlight-5-Part-6-of-10.aspx it seems it's an OOB only feature.
