    Adding C# library reference to Silverlight project

    Does anyone know how to utilize a C# class within a silverlight
    project?

    I was trying to add a reference to my non-silverlight Class Library
    and the VS 2008 IDE told me "You can only add project references to
    other Silverlight projects in the solution".

      Abbas,

      I don't think that you can do this. AFAIK, Silverlight uses a separate
      implementation of the CLR, and you can't add a reference to an assembly
      compiled for the .NET CLR, which is why you have to add a reference to
      another Silverlight project.

          IOW, you can reference the source files, but not the compiled output?

              >From what I have found is that you indeed cannot add a reference to a
              C# class library. All you can do is add the class as a link to your
              Silverlight project, but it will still be compiled using the
              Silverlight DLLs rather than the .NET CLR.
