The Silverlight Plugin Console

Some interesting things about the Silverlight Plugin (I’m talking about the final version, that’s 1.0).

First of all, I don’t know how many people know this (except the ones reading Jamie Cansdale’s blog, but the mscorlib.dll that ships with the Silverlight plugin, has the Console object. That means we can create Console Silverlight apps. Jamie Cansdale shows an example and it’s easy to try for yourself. Just remove the mscorlib reference from the Advanced Build Settings in Visual Studio and reference the mscorlib from Silverlight. (Jamie Cansdale, for those who don’t know, is the creator of Testdriven.net)

That’s why, in this post, I asked the question: “1. Does Silverlight have a System.Console class? Why?”. I was thinking that someone would try to see for himself. No one did. Everybody who was wondering asked me personally.

And the answer to “in which scenario could you use the Console class in Silverlight?”. Check this out.
