Could you elaborate on what you are trying to do? If you need to add text to a certain location, set the drawmode to point. When the user clicks a point, pop up a textbox where they can enter the text they want. On completion create a graphic with the selected point, and set the symbol to a TextMarkerSymbol with the entered text. ... View more

Basically all a silverlight app requires is: 1) A html page that contains and loads the Silverlight Plugin. 2) A .xap file which is the Silverlight app (this is usual the output in the ClientBin folder of your website when you build it). 3) Optionally (but highly recommended!) the silverlight.js file which helps users install the plugin if they don't already have it. Also as Ali mentions, the mimetype for the .xap file is important. As long as this is set, you can host your app on any webserver that can simply host html, javascript and .xap files (meaning there's no requirement on using IIS, ASP.NET, .NET etc). Of course if your website contains ASP.NET pages and/or services that the silverlight app communicates with, it will require an ASP.NET webserver like IIS. ... View more

You define how you want to render the map using ArcMap when you author your map. So when you publish this to the Server, Silverlight will automatically pull the map as you defined the rendering. Other than that, you can do some changes to colors on the client if you use the FeatureLayer. See these examples: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/samples/start.htm#RenderersXAML http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/samples/start.htm#Thematic_Interactive ... View more
