When you employ Silverlight to displays dashboards, you may encounter problems with long running queries timing out. This sample module demonstrates a method to generate the data needed for a dashboard using multiple queries. One query is used to display the current users, and two queries are used to display the top 10 users.

Silverlight provides a unique solution for displaying data based on long running queries. The Silverlight application itself will never time out. If a single query does time out, the Silverlight application can be programmed to try the request again.
