All the ways you have described may be useful in different cases. - Reading a small xml embedded into the xap may be useful for small & rarely-changing configurations because you have to recompile (or at least open the xap-zip and repackage it) to change the configuration - Using the webclient or another network protocol is useful for biggest & often-changing configuration or for data retrieving (wcf?) So the correct response for me is "it depend from what you are doing" :D HTH -- Andrea Boschin Microsoft(R) MVP - [Visual Developer - ASP/ASP.NET] http://blog.boschin.it http://www.xedotnet.org http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Andrea.Boschin ------------------------------------------------------------------- OzSilverlight.com - to unsubscribe from this list, send a message back to the list with 'unsubscribe' as the subject.
