Can you display shapefiles in a sliverlight application? I need to create a Silverlight app. using shapefiles only since it need to be outside our firewall. Any code samples will be appreciated.

Not out of the box, but take a look at this project: http://esrislcontrib.codeplex.com/
However, if you plan on displaying a lot of data, this is likely not the way to go. High amounts of data are best displayed using server side rendered images or a pre-generated server-cache.

OK I got shapefiles to appear in my silverlight page. (Thanks for the esrlslContrib link). Can you use Unique Value Renderer with shapefiles??
