I was writing a simple silverlight application to test my basic understandings of silverlight. My app will make get http request to a page, and lists the items on the silverlight listbox component. Of course it didnt work :), cause i used HttpWebRequest which is synchronous. Microsoft removed the synchronous web request from silverlight 2.0, and i have no idea why :)

so, what i did is, created a simple aspx page, which does the webrequest , and silverlight makes the request to my aspx file. So i dont to deal with crossdomain.xml files on the other hosts and things become easier :)
