I couldn't get "website" resources to work? when I load them it just fails, odd!
the app wasn't full screen for me by the way, merely full window :)
How did you find Silverlight to develop in? are you on twitter? you should be :)
I'll take a look into your issue with the website screen grabs and get it sorted.
Yes, full window is indeed the correct term I should be using.
To be honest I found Silverlight a joy to develop in. In the past I've tried AJAX and Flash / Flex when trying to develop this kind of RIA application.
Personally I don't enjoy writing code in Javascript, and found it difficult to bring my ideas of how I wanted the user experience to come together into reality.
With Flash / Flex I could get the richer experience I was looking for but was then developing in a different application / language when working on the UI component as opposed to the back end and this was less productive.
Thanks,

p.s My twitter username is "movingforwards".
Maybe, MAYBE, a little too many refelctions on the site. Just my 2 cents.
Can you turn this web app into a desktop app easily with silverlight?
1. WPF application - copy / share the code with a full blown WPF application and fix any incompatibility errors (Silverlight is a subset of the full .NET framework so there shouldn't be many).
2. Mesh Application - Live Mesh applications include the ability to run Silverlight outside of the browser, like a desktop application (short cuts, start menu items etc). I've done a bit of a proof of concept of this (http://www.vimeo.com/2542327 for an overview) but this introduces a hard dependancy on the user having Live Mesh installed so for the moment it's just proof of concept.
Thanks.
I was just thinking users like having a "desktop" application - might re-iterate the lovely Silverlight experience if the user could "download" a copy.
