In this video we see three different methods to add a Silverlight application to a web page of a Sharepoint site.

In the first method we use the Shared document Library provided by Sharepoint. In the second method we use a Web Part to deploy the Silverlight application and, in the third method, we use a module of Sharepoint as a "ferryboat".

Davide Zordan posted a quick overview and reference to a sample chapter from the new book of Gastón C. Hillar: “Microsoft Silverlight 4 and SharePoint 2010 Integration”

This is the overview taken from the publisher site:

Develop Silverlight RIAs that interact with SharePoint 2010 data and services

Explore the diverse alternatives for hosting a Silverlight RIA in a SharePoint 2010 Page

Work with the new SharePoint Silverlight Client Object Model to interact with elements in a SharePoint Site

Use Visual Studio 2010′s new features to debug Silverlight RIAs that interact with SharePoint 2010

This tutorial of Bryant Likesis is about getting Silverlight 3 development going with Sharepoint 2010.

One of the cool features of SharePoint 2010 (currently in beta) is that you can set it up on a Windows 7 machine. This means that as a SharePoint developer you no longer have to run a Server OS.

The approach demonstrated in this video is Telerik Silverlight controls working with the client object model, in particular RadScheduler talking to the Calendar list.

This code snippet written by Robbe Morris offers a simplistic way to obtain the Active Directory credentials of a user accessing a Silverlight application hosted in a SharePoint page.

In order to actually determine Active Directory roles or obtain additional data on the user in Active Directory, you would typically write a WCF service that accepts an Active Directory username and whatever search credentials you want.  The service would return back additional Active Directory details.  This sample is just a quick and dirty way of retrieving the user's Active Directory username when they try to access the folder the Silverlight application is hosted in.  In most cases, the user would have authenticated via Active Directory while logging into SharePoint.  Those credentials are automatically passed when they attempt to load your Silverlight application hosted in the SharePoint Page.
