Hi Ibrahim, It may be possible to mix the two technologies, but the Application Code Validation that takes place as part of the Marketplace certification process does not allow you to mix Silverlight UI with XNA. In particular, it states: The application must not call any APIs in the Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game assembly or the Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics assembly when using any methods from the System.Windows.Controls namespace.

Sorry to stress you out, and please do not stop experimenting and writing about integration of the two technologies. It's cool. I received the link to your article via a Windows Phone source, which made me think it was aimed at the phone. I see it is not now.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Cheers,<o:p></o:p> Daniel<o:p></o:p>

  Hi Daniel, Thank you for dropping comment! I believe this statement is all about Windows Phone 7 Applications using Silverlight,because we can use both of the XNA assemblies there. And im curious now.If there's any "Violation of Use" term while mixing two technologies,then i will have to stop writing about this integration matter. Because I havent heard from Microsoft "officially" that we're able to use XNA and Silverlight together in solution just like my approach in this article. So im currently investigating the matter and will let you know about the progress Cheers, -Ibrahim

  Hi Daniel, Dont worry.No problem at all :) This article is only for Windows Games.I havent tried it Windows Phone 7. But you're right! According to Windows Phone 7 Certification,there will be some certification problems. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Cheers, -Ibrahim
