title: Config/Settings for a Microsoft CRM 2011 Form Silverlight Control
body: <p>Need an idea on best practise in finding a solution.</p>
  
  <p>We are looking at developing Silverlight controls for CRM forms that will need to reference a common configuration file for data.  It is a file that will need to be maintained periodically every once in a while.  We don't want to be hardcoding values into the Silverlight control.</p>
  
  <p>My question is... Where/What/How do we provide a config file for a Silverlight control?</p>
  
  <p>I tried uploading a JS web resource that simply was a JSON array full of settings that I tried to access from the Silverlight control.  All I got were permission errors when I used both the admin account and my domain account to do a Http get of the file and parse it.  Can someone confirm that this could work if I manage to work through these annoying permission errors?</p>
  
  <p>My next thought was having a CRM entity full of settings that the Silverlight control could make ODATA calls to in order to get its config data.  I'm not 100% sold on the idea though.</p>
  
  <p>Perhaps there is another way people have been using - if so - I'd love to see what you are doing.  This could really prevent us from coming to a Silverlight enriched solution that we are after.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
