[IronPython] clr assembly reference error in Ipy / Silverlight (but works in ipy)

[Nummers]

ok I think that makes sense, thanks

Just so I understand, this is really an issue of different .NET frameworks
between the desktop and Silverlight?  So, I would face this issue even if I
did not use DLR and went with C#?
