Hi Virgil,

Thank you for your comment, I hope you enjoyed our ClientUI solution.

Regarding the threading, unfortunately, Silverlight doesn’t ship with true multi-threading architecture yet in the latest v4 release. So all the MDI windows will share the same thread.

However, since Silverlight is built on the WPF-style rendering architecture, most asynchronous callbacks or animations are still smooth even if it’s running in several windows together.

There are several possible techniques to simulate the multi-threading for a specific window (let’s say if you need to execute a long process), you can do that by using DispatcherTimer or BackgroundWorker.

Hope this helps,
Jimmy.

Very nice job, by the way. I like it a lot.

Will each MDI window run in it’s own thread, or will there be something implemented to help this scenario?
