Hi Thanks for your prompt response. The sharepoint site is not used for storing alone. It has custom web parts. So i think, for presenting Sharepoint data in Silverlight, its better using Silverlight webparts and deploy them in Sharepoint site( atleast in my case). Any ideas?? Thanks in advance

I would suggest you to use silverlight wepart where you query sharepoint data and present them in silverlight. The best way for sharepoint-silverlight communication would be the one given at following URL.

It realy depends on how the app was build in the first place, what the requirements are (are there other things SharePoint was used for except for storing data?). If you use some of the webpart functionality right now for having a more flexibel solution, it could be a pain to have to rewrite this in Silverlight.

Most other things can obviously be reached trough the default webservices that come with SharePoint and if all else fails you could build a service yourself to provide you with functionality that is not already available.

HTH.
