I am new to silverlight development and I want to know if silverlight instances can communicate between each other - I want to build a simple game with silverlight. Would it be possible to setup a connection between two silverlight instances with the help
of the hosting website and than to actually "play" the game without the need to send interaction data (player 1 moved right, player 1 picked item, etc.) to the server and than to the second silverlight instance?
Silverlight instance can communicate with each other in the same web page...(each instance would live in the DOM and you could get each host and call into individual elements with JScript pretty effectively).

Thanks for your reply! Do you know if there are any samples? Btw, if those two instances communicate between each other, do they still communicate over the server or directly?

Hello everyone,
I am new to silverlight development and I want to know if silverlight instances can communicate between each other - I want to build a simple game with silverlight. Would it be possible to setup a connection between two silverlight instances with the help of the hosting website and than to actually "play" the game without the need to send interaction data (player 1 moved right, player 1 picked item, etc.) to the server and than to the second silverlight instance?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

The two instances are just objects in the browser so they'd communicate directly. Just like you'd communicate with HTML elements...
