Does anyone know of a way to simulate microsoft word using silverlight in a web browser? I am not looking for a commercial application but rather an open source solution. I do not need the complete functionality of word. Something simple that will display the text of a document will do for the first version. Also, silverlight cannot be running in out-of-browser mode and I cannot use a WCF service.
Thanks for your time!
You can start with the Silverlight Text Editor in Microsoft Sample.

I programmed a Virtual Keyboard (On Screen Keyboard) as a Silverlight Web Application, now I want to use this Keyboard in an other Silverlight Application (call the Keyboard when clicking a Textbox). I thought I could create a .dll and use this in my other Application.
So is it possible to create a .dll File from a Silverlight Web Application?
Thank you for reading,

You simply need to convert it into a Silverlight Class Library. There are some things to look out for, but it isn't too hard.
It is one of the options when you create a new project in Visual Studio.
See Microsoft's documentation for more info:

also you can think of a web service, in this way your application can be used by anyone else, of course you can specify users of your app. I think web services are more recent and using them is more future-oriented, give it a go!
I would like to develop a web conferencing system (or web classroom) as a graduation project using Silverlight similar to
iVocalize
which is a java applete .
I don't know if what is possible for a java applete to perform on the PC is also possible for Silverlight, or is SL more restricted.
There are two functionalities (which are related i guess) that iVocalize provides which i would also like to include in my SL application, which are:
A participant may broadcast a live video stream of the desktop to other participants so that they will be able to follow all activities performed on the computer.
A participant may take a snapshot of the desktop
If the previous functionalities are not possible in SL than do you think that WPF may be used instead?
Thank you vey much.
Actually, you can use Silverlight 4 Web cam features.
With Silverlight 4, you can develop full-trust Silverlight application that can capture the snapshot of user desktop.
Using Silverlight it is possible.. Have a look at this open source silverlight project. Its has desktop sharing as one of the module

I'm about to write an application in either Adobe Air or Silverlight, to run standalone, offline, on the desktop. It's a simple enough application that allows the user to enter text data and will then print formatted documents based on that information. The obvious place to store all this relational data is in a database. I believe Air comes with SQLite out of the box, so no problems there, but from what I can tell Silverlight doesn't. How does Silverlight handle installing an out of browser application that needs to access a local database? Does the user have to install SQL/SQLite first and then Silverlight, or is there some way that Silverlight can deploy that side of things itself?
Thanks
I don't know much about Air, But Silverlight has IsolatedStorage for saving data on client-end and it has its own constrains. But if you want to have an application that can access local database why don't you try WPF(XBAP)?
This link can be helpful regarding SQLLite and Silverlight using IsolatedStorage.

I'm fairly certain silverlight isn't intended for... whatever it is you're trying to do.
When I worked on ASP.NET web forms, I found IE developer tool extremely useful to debug my Javascript and CSS issues.
I cannot seem to make that tool work with my Silverlight application. I was trying to use "Select Element by Click" feature and it was not selecting any elements on my silverlight application.
Any ideas what's going on?
The elements on your Silverlight application are not HTML elements, they are embedded in your Silverlight application, so the developer tool cannot see them.
As Jeff Yates pointed out Silverligh is object, so you cannot inspect something. I can suggest to try SilverlightSpy.
I have a WPF application and I want to use the Microsoft Application Block for logging (MIcrosoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging)
How can I configure it in order to work?
It depends where and how you want to persist the log data.
Download the enterprise lib 4.1 from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd203099.aspx
There is quick start for logging. The app.config within the sample is what you are after.
You shouldn't have to make much change from it in order to make your WPF logging works.
FYI there's nothing special about using EntLib with a WPF application versus a WinForms or server application (assuming you're not launching forms for visual tracing).
MSDN has a document on this that should answer you question:
Integrating the Logging Application Block with WCF Applications
