Is it possible for a Silverlight project within a .NET solution to use methods, objects and what nots within other .NET projects?

@all, thank you for all of the response. My solution in my mind is to have a project with in the .NET solution that listens to a certain port and send an XML object based on the input. And have a separate Silverlight project that sends the query to the previously mentioned .NET solution port.

Do you think that it is possible without too much overhead? I don’t even know you can make TCP connection with Silverlight…

    Off the top of my head here are a few ways to reuse code (not binaries) across Silverlight/.NET libraries:

    • You can use the Add existing File “Add as link” option to bring source code files into Silverlight (assuming the using statements are compatible)
    • You can use RIA service libraries to have code shared between server libraries (which are standard .NET libraries) and Silverlight clients. As well as the auto-generated RIA data stuff, there is a feature where you just name your files whatever.***shared***.cs, and it will be copied to the matching client library.

    Unfortunately, you cannot just link with non-Silverlight binaries as it uses its own version of .NET.
