I have done this using web services. Certainly within Silverlight, you can
have the web service called asynchronously then have an action executed once
the call returns.

Right now, a lot of people have SAS and SAS EG installed on their desktops
and they all have local copies of various SAS programs floating around.

These people want to be able to run the reports.  I want to protect them
from accidentally altering some of the source code.

How to do this?

My first thought was to run SAS behind a web interface.  The issue with that
is that most of these jobs take several minutes, and browsers often drop the
connection.

Thanks for the advice.

Matt
