can silverlight and c# work together?
-
i'm new to silverlight, in new i mean i have never even used it. before i go through the trouble of learning it i need to know: i (currently) use flash and java, connected through an xmlsocket for a desktop app. i need to be able to do the same in silverlight c#. can silverlight connect to a c# class that implements an xmlsocket type connection, and can the data be sent back to silverlight? can silverlight be run as a standalone application in a player like flash? or is it only browser based at the moment?
rather have something you don't need, than need something you don't have

silverlight is WPF/E, right ? So, it's a framework on top of C#. Silverlight is a cut down version of WPF, WPF writes complete apps. I can't see how it could be more than trivial to create an app that is a viewer, even if it's just a web browser control.
