I downloaded Silverlight 1.1 and used C# as main language. It was cool, but it doesn't mean that we can use all of C# functionalities including local file access, full .NET framework capabilities and even win32 declaration. What is exactly limitation of Silverlight 1.1? Is there any documentation that refers limitations?

Silverlight implements a subset of WPF features. Most of the execluded features are unportable features or security related features. Examples of missing features:
Access to local file system is excluded because of security (You can open files using OpenFileDialog only, and can save data using IsolatedStorage)
You can't interoperate with COM components or other .NET libraries compiled against the full CLR
3D support is dropped from Silverlight
The feature I miss the most is data binding, which is not supported by this version of Silverlight
There are more missing, but these are the missing feature that I remembered.

Thank you. I searched MSDN, because I thought that Microsoft wrote official document for this issue.
However, I can't find such document in there. I think that they should have it.
