"new users, create roles, change role assignment etc." they are the things I
wanted to do...
so really I would be better off handling all this in the ASP.NET page that

ASP.NET page with my Silverlight Application to do these things?
then to stop the page reloading I would need to do these tasks "new users,
create roles, change role assignment etc." via something like MS AJAX...?
