Silverlight Accessing ASPX Static Object

Question

I have a website that started with ASP.NET and over time has had some Silverlight elements added to it throughout miscellaneous pages. One of these elements needs to change a static object on the ASP.NET Master Page containing it. Is this in any way possible? I had it in my mind that I might be able to create an event in Silverlight and catch it in the ASP.NET code, but I doubt that could work. Any help would be great.

It is rarely a good idea to use a static object in ASP.Net

This is fundamentally impossible. Silverlight runs on the client, whereas ASP.Net runs on the server, and never the twain shall meet.

Instead, you can use AJAX (see the WebClient class)

Yep, go from Silverlight control -> Javascript bridge -> AJAX call to server.

@slugster: You can send HTTP requests directly from Silverlight; you don't need Javascript.
