Hi,
Is threre a way to connect a SL client from another SL client without routing the whole communication over a server?
I guess not, for security reasons, but maybe I missed something.
Thanks.

If both are hosted in Same Aspx or Html Page you can communicate them byu exposing some Scriptable members.

Hi Harsh,
Wow, that was fast :-)
But I meant a connection between clients running on different machines.

If they're in the same page, you could build a bridge in Javascript where you would have some method that gets called from on of the Silverlight apps, and then calls into the other one.
If you're talking about a peer-to-peer between two browser instances, there's some discussion about it here:

In that case either you have to use Services or sockets for communication.

Hi Bill,
Yes, that's exactly what I was looking for... Unfortunately the term peer-to-peer didn't cross my mind, so my forum search was unlucky. Thanks.
