I don't understand why this has to be a desktop application? Are you saying that users can't work with an application inside a browser? Silverlight itself doesn't have many UI controls yet. You would normally use ASP.NET with it to provide the UI controls. I guess you might get by using WinForms for Glade UI controls with it, but I think you don't like that option. Most people using Silverlight are really making ASP.NET applications that happen to have a Silverlight control on the page. Sometimes that control is run fullscreen, especially with games, but their just aren't enough UI objects in Silverlight yet to make a typical business style application. >And the bad thing is that SilverLight can communicate only with >webservices under same webserver I think the limitation is the same domain. So a linux web server and an IIS web server in the same domain should be OK. But you could easily set up a proxy on the server and have it call outside servers. You call your server's web service, then he calls an outside web service on your behalf and returns the result. Google can find you a lot of hits for a cross-domain proxy. Most of these are intended to be called from JavaScript on a web page. If you prefer a C# solution then just roll your own proxy as I explained. Here's one example but its pretty complex for your purposes: http://dotnetslackers.com/columns/ajax/MashitUpwithASPNETAJAX.aspx If you're not at all familiar with ASP.NET then you've got a lot of learning to do in order to use this approach. I personally might recommend Java with SWT as a simpler way to make a cross-platform desktop GUI application. Someone else here mentioned it about a month ago, also. C# and Java are quite similar. I normally prefer C#, but Java has been around longer and Java's primary focus has been on cross-platform applications. http://www.eclipse.org/swt/ Eric NOTICE: The information contained in this electronic mail transmission is intended by the sender for the sole use of the named individual or entity to which it is directed and may contain information that is privileged or otherwise confidential.
