Rich Interactive Applications (RIAs) and media players built with Microsoft Silverlight are easily integrated with web analytics services like WebTrends On Demand, Omniture MarketingLab, and Microsoft AdCenter Analytics.

Each panelist will discuss how to incorporate their company's web analytics services into Silverlight applications and then take advantage of the separation between the design in XAML and code in JavaScript to do effective A/B testing.
