4

I know that Silverlight 4 has the support for COM interop via the AutomationFactory class.

dynamic excel = AutomationFactory.CreateObject( "Excel.Application" );
excel.Visible = true;

Easy. But this creates a separate process for the COM object. What I am missing here is if I am actually able to actually host the office document inside my silverlight application - in a ContentPresenter for example?

Thanks in advance.
