does anyone have any suggestions for what I can do to try and create a SL Shared Library as a DLL file on a Mac? I’ve tried Eclipse with eclipse4sl and MonoDevelop, but I can’t figure out what i’m doing wrong. I had a nice streamlined process for this on a PC using VWD 2008. Basically what I want is this:

1.) A project that is strictly the code that will be compiled into the DLL shared library

2.) A separate project that links the uncompiled library code into a sample implementation so that I can tweak the library without going back and forth between projects and rebuilding the library all the time.

3.) (optional) another version of the sample implementation that uses the actual compiled library for final testing.

I’m managed to get a Silverlight app running using Eclipse, but I can’t figure out if/how my shared library building is possible.

thanks for any suggestions.

    The best way to do this is probably to target Moonlight, the Mono-based open source version of Silverlight. Moonlight 2.0 was recently released, and with the proper support, MonoDevelop can be used to build Moonlight assemblies.

    Here is a video that details how to set up and use MonoDevelop on the Mac to develop Moonlight code:
