I couldn't add the references because the assemblies I was trying to add weren't Silverlight assemblies. My issue remains that I need assemblies built against Silverlight 4 because I'm trying to using ExpandoObjects (System.Dynamic) in conjunction with IronPython. If I use the current Silverlight assemblies available on Codeplex I get type duplication errors.
