Using the Visual Studio Office tools, is it possible to create a Silverlight application that will sync with the client-side Outlook?
That is, the user would log onto a website, manipulate some appointment-type data, and then hit a button to sync that data with their client-side Outlook?
From my understanding, Silverlight can only interact with the client using IsolatedStorage, so I wasn't sure if the Outlook integration was possible.
Thanks.

Silverlight runs in a sandbox so no it is not possible to directly interact with outlook. If you really need to do this you would have to create a web service to communicate with the silverlight app. Then create an outlook addin to communicate with the web service

Thanks for the response. You confirmed what I suspected.
What about a WPF app that is downloaded and run in the browser. Would that be able to sync with the client-side Outlook?
