You do not want to expose your database objects on the internet, therefore the system.data.sqlclient is not supported on silverlight by design. Use web services to interact with the database if you have to...

Silverlight is meant to run on client's browser (if its an in-browser app), which mostly deals with the rendering of the GUI. the System.Data namespace is meant to run on the server and hence is not allowed to be added to Silverlight projects. As others have suggested, WCF RIA services are the best ways to communicate with the data using Silverlight. They act as a middle-tier for your GUI and the backend data/business layers. Consider reading this: http://www.silverlight.net/learn/advanced-techniques/wcf-ria-services/get-started-with-wcf-ria-services[^].
