I've been trying to find official requirements for Silverlight 4.0, but can't seem to find anything.
What I want to know is if VS2008 supports Silverlight 4.0, or if I need to upgrade to VS2010.
The only mention I could find was on this Silverlight forum: http://forums.silverlight.net/forums/p/156538/350841.aspx
Does anyone know of an official link?

The microsoft.com/silverlight website will still be available. However, the Silverlight installer will no longer be available after the end of support date of October 12, 2021.
Go to https://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight, or search Google for "Get Microsoft Silverlight". You'll be taken to the Get Microsoft Silverlight page. Click the Install for Windows or Install for Macintosh link, depending on your computer. Follow the installation instructions presented below the download links.
I pretty sure you require Visual Studio 2010 to use Silverlight 4. I was using 3 and had to install VS2010 to use Silverlight 4. There are no SL4 tools in VS2008.
Notice no mention of VS2008: http://www.silverlight.net/getstarted/
Link to tools also with no mention or links to alternate downloads: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=68A158AF-9BB8-4855-A724-D09D196EAAF3&displaylang=en

Also, Microsoft I am sure wants to provide as many reasons as possible to get developers to upgrade to VS2010. Silverlight 4 is one of them.
