How to take the advantage of the add-ins of ArcGIS in the Viewer Silverlight?

I got a very powerful add-in (from very brilliant instructor) that searches any layer based on up to three fields with a functions to zoom to the found values.

How such tool can be plugged in the Silverlight?

Thank you

Hi,

The logic behind ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight Add-in and ArcGIS for Desktop Add-in is quite different. There is no way you could use the add-in from Desktop in Silverlight Viewer directly. Neither can you "recompile" the add-in to match Silverlight standards.

You will need to write an Silverlight Viewer add-in from scratch (or by using samples). Naturally you could take the idea behind Desktop add-in (written in C# or VB, for instance) and then use it as a reference when writing Silvelight add-in using ArcGIS API for Silverlight.

Many thanks for the answer Alexey

Never be easy for non-developers as well!
