Hey Thibaut, sorry for the very delayed response ... Every Silverlight object you place on a page is sandboxed, so other Silverlight objects cannot access each other. So a Silverlight greasemonkey-esk thing isn't really possible. =( When you create a Silverlight object, you implicitly say whether you want to use the Silverlight 1 or Silverlight 2 behavior with the 'source' attribute; when you give it a XAML file:
<params source='foo.xaml' /> You're saying you want to use Silverlight 1, which bypasses the CLR and gives you JavaScript programmability of the Silverlight visual elements. However, when you give it a xap file: <params source="foo.xap" /> You're saying you want to use Silverlight 2, which gives you Ruby, Python, C#, etc. Unfortunately, there's no way to combine these "modes", so you can have native JavaScript and .NET languages both manipulating the Silverlight control. However, if you're just using HTML, you *can* use Ruby to monkey-patch the page. =) Hope that answers your questions, ~Jimmy From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thibaut Barrère Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2008 5:42 AM To: ironruby-core@rubyforge.org Subject: Re: [Ironruby-core] Manipulating Silverlight controls dynamically from IronRuby - is it currently possible ?

Any hint most welcome on that point too ! cheers -- Thibaut
