You can't use Silverlight in your windows form application even you have .net 3.5 installed on my machine.

But you can use WPF within your Windows Forms applications. It has more facilities than the Silverlight.

It looks like you need to use WPF instead.

Silverlight is a web based technology (despite the addition of the ability to run Out Of Browser). What this means is that Silverlight needs a web page to at least be accessed from initially - so, the answer would appear to be no, but that's not quite true.

Basically, all you need to do is host your Silverlight page in a web form which your application can get access to and display inside a WebBrowser control. It's a little bit convoluted, but it is possible.
