Although this article doesn't explore much of the eye-candy Silverlight features such as animations, my real focus here is to provide readers with a small, working proof-of-concept that explores the use of Silverlight as part of a multimedia exam suite. The initial idea was to create a simple exam suite, but it soon evolved to a multimedia exam suite, where you can assign a video to each question in the exam, thanks to Youtube flexibility in providing a small player which can be embedded inside your html (and fortunately, inside your Silverlight applications).

Silverlight 4 now came up with the support of Command Binding. Using Command binding you can easily develop your Silverlight MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) applications where your view will not know about data. In this article, I will describe you the Command binding feature in Silverlight 4 Step-by-St
