Hey thanks.. I did come across this example a week or two back, although sort of dismissed it because, as you mentioned, it seemed to just create XAML... obviously I didn't look closer!<br />

I have played around with Silverlight a little, and I realise there are some shifting changes going on ready for the release of Silverlight 2.0.<br />
<br />
Some examples seemed to show getting data back to Silverlight to bind to say combo boxes/listboxes etc... <br />
I can see examples using web services, although I cannot use that method.<br />
<br />
I need an example to show the &quot;plumbing&quot; of getting remote XML back to Silverlight using VS2008 or Blend 2.<br />
I have an ASP.NET ASHX page which simply returns an XML string, and I want to use that XML in silverlight.<br />
<br />
I also want to do the reverse and send data back to the server... but that can wait if necessary.

Extensible Markup Language (XML) refers to the encoding of documents such that they can be read by both machines and humans. XML documents use tags to show the beginning and end of a set of data. XML is used extensively on websites to show volumes of data, and is the default for a number of office productivity suites. This topic includes discussions of XML-related technologies, such as XQuery (the XML Query language), XPath (the XML Path language), XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations), XLink (the XML Linking language) and XPointer (the XML Pointer language).

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications
