Silverlight Out of Browser Application making Http Requests through a proxy - silverlight

When running Silverlight 3.0 in OOB mode, you don't have to worry about any proxy authentication as the browser normally takes care of this.
If I've installed a Silverlight app in OOB mode, is there any way to authenticate against a proxy?

This might be of help:

This doesn't look like it is possible in SL3

SL cross domain calls on localhost

I have read up on the Cross-Domain policy from here. How do we get it to work while testing on localhost, or is this not possible?
It's not possible. Silverlight client application should try to call service hosted in different machine from web-site that hosts Silverlight app.

Silverlight: How to deploy a Silverlight app?

I've just written a Silverlight app and want to deploy it. This app is NOT to be hosted at a website. It is supposed to be a standalone app, just like a standalone WPF app for Windows, but (if I understand Silverlight correctly) it can run on both Windows and Mac.
I've created a .xap file. What do I do with this file to get the app installed? Thanks.
You do need to install it from a website as it still requires the Silverlight environment provided by the browser plugin.
It is the browser plugin that provides the OOB (Out Of Browser) mode.
I gather Adobe Air has the same requirements for apps.
In addition to what #HiTech Magic stated, you can also create a standalone installer for silverlight OOB apps using SLLauncher.exe.

I'm running a Silverlight 4 app with elevated trust out of browser and cannot rely on the DOM or host web page to shut down Silverlight. There is no App.Current.Shutdown() method. How do I shut down a Silverlight app programmatically?
try App.Current.MainWindow.Close();

How to communicate between Windows Form app and Web Site?

We developped an C# .Net 2.0 Windows Form application for Windows XP embedded that controls the underlying hardware/device. Now, we need to add a c# .NET 2.0 Web Site (hosting by IIS inside the same device) that can send commands to the Windows Form application (example: Start measuring) and receive data.
What is the best way to do it?
We thought about Web Service, but how the Windows Form application can know when the Web Service will receive a command from the Web Site.
Thank you.
Note: Forbidden to install on the device a Framework .NET 3.x or 4
Given this restriction on .Net 2.0, .net remoting is the way to go in this situation.

Winform app can expose objects via remoting. Web app can send request to these objects. request would have commands.
