If you are using Visual Studio 2008, you need to install Silverlight Tool for Visual Studio. You will see the Silverlight Project template in "New Project" dialog after installation.

1. Chose Silverlight Application and check the check box for ASP.NET project for hosting Silverlight.

2. Add Silverlight-Enabled WCF service in ASP.NET

3. Write a method with parameter and return the array list that you want.

4. Build the ASP.NET project

5. Add this service as a service reference in Silverlight project.

6. then, you will be able to see the method that you write in Silverlight-Enabled WCF service

Hope it helps.
