SharePoint 2010 Silverlight Client Object Model - How to use

As part of the introduction series, I want to present the advantage of the client object model introduced in SharePoint 2010. There are great advantages with this model as it don't require SharePoint needs to be installed on the client machine. We just need to refer the client dlls which Microsoft SharePoint provides and based on them we will write code to communicate with SharePoint server. In this article we will go through Silverlight Client Object Model. If you want to know the other client object model types go here. ECMAScript and Managed client object models.

To communicate with the SharePoint server in Silverlight context we need to give two client SharePoint DLL references to the silver light project.
