Hello Friends

I am new for silverlight. I am asp.net (c#) developer. I have one window desktop application in visual studio 2008. Also I have never created desktop application in asp.net or in any other language. Now my client wants to convert window desktop application-(vs2008) into silverlight-4 desktop application. So I want to know answer of following questions.

1. Is it possible to create desktop application in silverlight-4? If yes then can you give me reference or hints?
2. OOB (out of browser) application is the window desktop application in silverlight-4?
3. Is it possible to create setup for OOB (out of browser) application to install in other pc? If yes then can you explain me how?
Please reply me as soon as possible so I can reply to my client.

Thanks in advance.
