Jimmy,

I heard on the Sparkling Clieent Podcast that you wrote in  
silverlight.netabout Silverlight and Dynamic Languages, they mentioned  
that bindings to  
dynamic objects work now. I can’t find any info about this. Do you have  
the  
link to this? Is this actually supported (I’m thinking it was probably a  
mistake from the person who mentioned it).  
By the way, there’s a bug in  
connect[http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/522119/databinding-to-dynamic-objects-is-broken](http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/522119/databinding-to-dynamic-objects-is-broken)about  
this that is still active.

(I write it here, since I think this might be of interest to everyone)

Databinding to Dynamic Objects in Silverlight 4 is not supported.  
However, IronPython supports a feature that does enable databinding in  
Silverlight, but it requires that you adorn your code with static-type  
information:  
[LC Blog: INotifyPropertyChanged and databinding in Silverlight](http://gui-at.blogspot.com/2009/11/inotifypropertychanged-and-databinding.html).  
However, this is not supported in IronRuby today, as there is no way to  
provide that static type information, though it’s on the roadmap.

That’s great.

As a sort of related topic, I’m wondering if this could actually help us  
consume ‘Dynamic’ components from tools like Blend. I know that this  
doesn’t  
mean we’ll have an assembly that we can reference, but I’m thinking of  
something like having a small dll that could be pointed to a dynamic  
object  
that could provide a list of types (for components) which in turn could  
provide information about their properties and methods.
