Finally got the chance to sit down and dork around with silverlight.  I skipped right over 1 and 1.1 and went directly to 2.0 hoping that there's something there I can figure out.  What I ended up with was a Linqed, WCFed silverlight app that will NOT accept its rightful place out in the world.  I haven't quite figured it out yet, but I keep getting either a totally blank page (tried all 3 pages I set aside for it) and the service itself isn't working property (thought it was the end point domain but that wasn't it either).

Anyway, if you get bored, take a look at http://silver.rileytech.net and take a look (nothing comes up at the time of me typing this) and the service doesn't either but I won't be posting up that link.  If anyone would care to take a look, let me know, I'll send you the code with the database too.  At least the other site works -- www.columbusstarsbaseball.org :-)
