Creating a TFS project from a silverlight application - silverlight

I am developing a Silverlight application that displays a dashboard of builds from TFS and I just found out that I cant reference TFS libraries from Silverlight as they are built with different runtime. Whats the workaround? Is their a Silverlight clr version of TFS libraries I can reference?
Thanks

You might be able to accomplish this by using the TFS OData API available here: https://tfsodata.visualstudio.com/

Including WCF RIA Services to an existing Silverlight Project

I want to include WCF RIA services to an already existing Silverlight Pproject that was created with MS Expression Blend. Whenever I search the web for information about creating WCF RIA services I only find tutorials about creating a solution by creating a new project with Visual Studio 2010.
I know how to create a new Silverlight application with RIA services using Visual Studio 2010, but I can't find a tutorial on how to include a RIA service after creating a Silverlight project. Is it maybe not possible to do so?
Every bit of help is welcome. Thank you in advance and please excuse my bad english.
Open your Silverlight project configuration and add a "WCF RIA Services link".
See MSDN.

Silverlight 5 Install Project using InstallShield - which one do I use?

Well I think this might be the final question for this Silverlight 5 project.
I just installed the InstallShield Limited Edition for Visual Studio 2012 and no I am faced with a dilemma. Which installation project to use?
The project is a Silverlight WCF application and I hope that is a simple enough description to go on. What is required is that the client side sees the web environment and the server side has the WCF services (of course).
I have not worked with this kind of project before so there may be some configuring certain pieces to go certain places and I am very unfamiliar with how all this works. The Installer projects available are as follows:
Setup Project,
Merge Module Project,
Setup Library Project,
Bootstrapper Project,
C# Custom Action Project,
VB Custom Action Project,
C++ Custom Action Project
Which one would I use to create an Installer for this Silverlight 5 WCF solution?

Silverlight project will only work with Silverlight assemblies

Now a days, I make one application in Silverlight to get Emails from MS Exchange Server online. So first i create Silverlight Application in Visual Studio 2010. Now Issue is that when i add reference Microsoft.Exchange.Webservice.dll to silverlight application so error shown below:
"You cant add a reference to Microsoft.Exchange.Webservice.dll as it was not built against the Silverlight runtime. Silverlight project will only work with Silverlight assemblies".
I have searched error but failed to solve this issue.. please help me..
Silverlight uses a different runtime and a subset of the regular .Net framework, which is why you can only reference other SIlverlight libraries.
I would also think you shouldn't be referencing the Microsoft.Exchange.Webservice.dll directly anyway, rather you should be adding a web service reference to a web service exposed by an existing installation of Exchange, and then using webservice calls to retrieve the emails.
Edit:
This excellent previous StackOverflow should be enough to get you underway: Getting started with Exchange Web Services 2010

Breakpoint is not enabled for RIA Services Class Library

I have a RIA Services Class Library in my Silverlight OOB solution. Breakpoints are not enabled in any code in this library when debugging the solution. The module is not listed in the Debug/Modules window. Is it possible to debug your Class library services while running the Silverlight OOB solution?
Using:
Silverlight 5 Beta
VS 2010 10.0.40219.1
.NET Framework 4.0
C#
Have you checked which Debuggers are enabled in the Project properties?
When I can't get in any other way, I insert this code:
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();
in the service layer. And you will be able to open that in a new instance of Visual Studio to step through.

Ironpython 2.6.1 on Silverlight 4

I am trying to integrate IronPython in my Silverlight application but am unable to do so. After downloading the binaries, every time I try to add the dlls as references in my VS2010 solution all I get is an error about them not being compiled for Silverlight. I have even tried downloading the source distribution, but cannot set the various projects making up the solution to build against Silverlight (the only choices I have are different versions of the .net framework).
As the IronPython website explicitly states Silverlight compatibility, why is it not working? Is there any easier way of getting scripting capabilities in my Silverlight app?
You have to use binaries from IronPython-2.6.1\Silverlight\bin folder in Silverlight.
