The current silverlight projects are incorrect. I tried to build a silverlight version of Windsor and DP just last week, and hit a large wall and decided to give up.

The main issues were:

1) I found that the *.Silverlight.csproj files are still referencing System.dll, System.Core.dll, and mscorelib.dll from the .NET framework path. These should be linking to those in the silverlight SDK folder (something line C:\program files\microsoft sdks\silverlight\2.0…)

2) After fixing (1) I found some issues with classes that didn’t make it into silverlight 2.0 ( mainly the HybridDictionary). See the Silverlight 2.0 documentation for the System.Collections.Specialized namespace, only a few interfaces made it.

I looks like the best solution to make Castle.Core, Castle.MicroKernal, and Castle.Windsor source compatible with Silverlight 2.0 is to swap

HybridDictionary(true)

For

Dictionary<string, object>(StringComparrison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)

Or specific types, like in AbstractHandler.cs

Dictionary<string, DependencyModel>(StringComparrison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)

Since Dictionary<K,V> implements IDictionary, I found that this didn’t break the interfaces, and therefore is largely backwards compatible.

Also I found a combination of dictionaries where some ignore case, and some don’t.

After finding out the level of required change to make it compile for silverlight I gave up, and resorted to using the silverlight build of unity. I don’t know if there are other Classes that are being used in the .NET Framework that are not in Silverlight other than the HybridDictionary, but it wont take long to find out.

If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in.

There are many unit tests that aren't successful on silverlight. It would be really helpful if we can get these fixed in both Castle Core and DP2.
