Unfortunately the only managed runtimes supported by silverlight is c# and Vb.net so no c++ :-(.

Silverlight will however support PInvoke in version 5 but there are some tricks to it that might not fit with your usecase. It does however require elevated trust.

Probably not, Silverlight is very limited. But with the release of Silverlight 5 there seems to be support for PInvoke.

Silverlight 5 is released later this year.
