Community member Thomas J. Capps has already created a module for SilverlightDesktop 01.50.00 (this version allows you to upload modules created by others).

His module is called Silverlight Email 01.00.00 and as the name implies, it allows the users of your SilverlightDesktop installation to send emails (you must remember to configure the SMTP settings in the Administration first).

Congratulations to Tom for being the first independent developer to extend SilverlightDesktop.

You can download his module from the Module download page.
