Question

Is it possible to call matlab functions from Silverlight / C# ?

Answer 1

If you have an assembly (dll) that can interpret Mathlab calls, you should be able to include that assembly in your project and compile it with the rest of your application.

Obviously, you won't be able to run Silverlight side-by-side to interface with an installed instance of Matlab (unless the API is exposed through COM interop and using Silverlight 4, but that could get messy).

The Web API on sourceforge, as mentioned by Matt, seems like a really good fit if you can't find assemblies to include directly within your Silverlight application. Read my comments there for further thoughts.

Answer 2

I dont think this will be possible for Silverlight that you are intending to run in the browser, although you certainly could using WPF as a Windows app.

However you could expose Matlab functionality as a webservice using Matlab Server Pages (MSP), and then consume the fucntionlaity from silverlight.

Of particular interest isthis tutorial showing how to access a MSP webservice from C#.

Answer 3

You can use the Matlab API for .NET

I hope this helps.
