     Sandeep, not at the moment no there isn't.  And as Silverlight 2.0 does not support saving a file to the client directly, you will still need to implement an asp.net webform to popup and "push" the data to the user that way.

    Will Silverlight 3.0 support it?

     Yes robert it has a SaveFileDialog, all you get access to is the FileStream on the client PC.

    Hmmm, this sounds good.
     
    Can I print to paper?
     
    Can I access a DBMS? (SQL Server / Express / CE)
     
    Sorry for asking - you seem to be a good SL resource ;-)
     
    regards, Robert

     print paper, no, but there are ways around that...

    Access DBMS of course, there are a few tools around, DevExpress offer one right now, its called AgXpo, Silverlight version of XPO.  .NET RIA Services (Microsoft's answer to n-tier DBMS access in silverlight), and a few others around the traps...

    The thing i love about silverlight 3 is element to element binding, Master Detail grids, the detail grid can bind directally to a property on the parent grid etc...
