You'll must to write the Silverlight application in a Microsoft .NET language. That cannot be done in PHP. You do not have to use IIS services to get data into and out of Silverlight. Any XML, JSON, even RSS endpoint will do. While you can write .NET services (either WCF or ASMX), do not feel like this is a must. Silverlight uses a very simple asynchronous WebRequest and WebResponse model. Your data feeds can be written in PHP and hosted on Apache, and you can embed Silverlight as a simple embedded object in plain old HTML. There is no reason to invest any time/effort/resources in setting up IIS just because you want Silverlight components on a web page. As of earlier this fall with Silverlight 3, you can host Silverlight out-of-browser, same as Flash. However, unlike Flash, the out-of-browser Silverlight player remains in Internet Trust. It can never be promoted to Full Trust the way Flash out-of-browser application can. -- Jarrett Meyer Email: jarrettmeyer@xxxxxxxxx Web: JarrettMeyer.com On Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 4:33 PM, Harpreet <harpreet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > OK so I can create a silverlight web app use a datagrid ..populate it > with my sql server database ...compile it and embed into my php page as > an xap file. > > I think I am missing something??
