Re: How xaml design can be protected??

 Shrimp,

I am assuming you want to protect the actual XAML from prying eyes.  Out of the box, I don't believe SL2 will help you any because the XAML is simply packaged as a resource to a DLL inside of a XAP file which is very easy to disassemble using Reflector.   However, you might have another option.  Have you checked out {SmartAssembly} 3.0?  I have not used this myself, but it appears to have some XAML compression features that might help to improve the protection of your XAML, this is not 100% protection, but it should help "raise the bar".  They also say that they support Silverlight 2.0.

I hope this helps!
