I wasn't aware you could put Silverlight assemblies in the GAC, but it seems you can! It does work but there is still a problem because if you use clr.AddReference() the code fails as Python can't load the assembly at runtime. I've been using clr.AddReferenceToFile() which works at runtime (so long as I use the technique described in question 2 to get the .dll in the xap) but doesn't give Intellisense at design time :( > > 2.

You need to be able to add a reference to a .dll, get intellisense from it and have it in the .xap so it's available at runtime. It's basic Silverlight stuff that really should be there I think. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
