Question

I’ve just started learning Silverlight and I learned it is a client side program. Suppose I write a Silverlight app and add it to a webpage which is hosted on my desktop. If in the code-behind, I iterate through all the files in C:\StackOverflow and display the results on the page, when a user visits the page from another computer, will the program look for C:\StackOverflow on his computer, and not mine?

Answer 1

That’s correct, the Silverlight content is executed on the client computer.

However you wouldn’t be able to access C:\StackOverflow because the plugin is sandboxed for obvious security reasons.
