Hi Niaz Maybe your leader and yourself are thinking of the same thing, as maybe he/she is referring to a ajax request as client side? Because when you don't use ajax you're doing full page request which 'could' be thought of as a server request while ajax as a client request? On Tue, Aug

Silverlight on Windows 8

Folks, I'm getting a weird conflict running Silverlight 5 apps on Windows 8. In the Metro shell's browser it knows I don't have SL5 installed on the first visit and asks me to install a file (with x64 in the name). It then flips over to the old shell and installs the file okay. Now SL5 is working
