Answer 1

You are trying to setup a direct connection to your MYSQL server using silverlight. I think the trust levels in silverlight prohibit you to load the assemblies. What you should do is not using the database directly (why would you expose your database server directly?) and create a small webservice (e.g. MVC app) to handle json requests and interact that way with your data.
