Short Question:

If I have a Silverlight application built in SL3 can I detect at runtime if the client is using SL4 and use the Cursors.NESW that is only available in SL4?

More Info:

I have a Silverlight application built using Silverlight 3. I'd like to display a cursor Cursors.SizeNESW in my application. The way I was doing it was to set the Cursor to Cursors.None and display a NESW image in place of the cursor.

However, on Safari on a Mac this causes an issue - Silverlight is running in windowless mode, and if I put an iframe that covers the silverlight app and the cursor is set to none in the silverlight app - then mousing over the iframe will cause the cursor to disappear. I suspect my image cursor is being displayed in the Silverlight underneath the iframe.

Due to business reasons, upgrading to Silverlight 4 for the PC version probably won't happen soon. However, we've had to require Silverlight 4 on the Mac anyway to fix this issue.

I don't think it is possible to mix versions. A project is compiled either SL3 OR SL4. You'd have to have two different versions of your application.

Assembly.GetReferencedAssemblies and GetLoadedAssemblies are not supported as of SL4, so I'm guessing you're probably right.
