[Catching up w/old mail, sorry! =(] Dan,
Using a dynamic language in Silverlight is no different than in C#/VB wrt StaticResources; you can have a app.xaml file which looks like this: <Application xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"; xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"; x:Class="Microsoft.Scripting.Silverlight.DynamicApplication" > <Application.Resources> </Application.Resources> </Application> And load it in app.py like this: Application.LoadComponent(Application.current, Uri("app.xaml", UriKind.Relative)) I omit this "StaticResource XAML file" from our templates since I figured they'd only add confusion, but do you think this should be in there regardless? ~Jimmy > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan Eloff > Sent: Monday, May 05, 2008 6:44 AM > To: Discussion of IronPython > Subject: [IronPython] StaticResources + DLR + Silverlight > > I notice if you use C#/VB, you have <Application> in your main xaml > file.
