Send receive mxd using TCP communication channel

[prashantk]

Hi all,

I am trying to download mxd using silverlight web application and send across using tcp communication channel.
Is it possible to parse mxd in silverlight application? or any alternative?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Prashant

There is no built-in function for parsing a MXD file at client side.

The recommended way is to create a map service from the MXD on a server and to consume the services at client side.

Thanks Dominique,

I used xml for data communication through TCP channel.
