I am not sure whether there is any company that hosts silverlight apps for free, at least for the basic package usage. Edit: I am aware that one just needs to include the Silverlight control in HTML, but first, not all hosting companies host .Net applications, and even less of them are hosting .Net 3.5, which Silverlights 3.0 is based. ...

1) How can I use strongly typed dictionaries? I have some in my codebehind for an xaml page, but it does not come in intellisense and I have added System.Collections to the namespaces. 2) I hear "CoreCLR" a lot when talking about Silverlight. Is this a stripped down version of the CLR? Is there any classes/namespaces I can't use in Silv...
I'm trying to find out if Silverlight 3.0 has any session mechanics - as far as I recall, SL2 was suffering from the lack of it.

What are any other machine specific - values that can be obtained for the purpose of identifying an individual machine ? ...
I can place a couple of buttons in Silverlight, but I'm not that experienced with the Silverlight tools and capabilities. What do you think I should use to create something like this?
