  Hi Brad,

  You can use this code.

  Hope this helps.

  var serviceProxy = new OrganizationServiceProxy(new Uri("http://yourcrmserver/yourcrmorg/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc"), null, new ClientCredentials(), null);
  
  var request = new RetrieveAllEntitiesRequest()
  {
    EntityFilters = EntityFilters.Entity,
    RetrieveAsIfPublished = true
  };
  
  var response = (RetrieveAllEntitiesResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(request);
  
  foreach (EntityMetadata entity in response.CrmMetadata)
  {
    string entitySchemaName = entity.SchemaName;
    string entityId = entity.MetadataId.Value.ToString();
  
    // Add the entity to your dropdown list here                
  }

  Are you populating the dropdown in your custom page? Or is it the dropdown in the CRM form?

  It's supposed to be a silverlight web resource, but I've never used Silverlight before

  From your Silverlight project, you can add new Service Reference to your CRM Server WebService URL. Eg: http://yourcrmserver/yourcrmorg/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc

  Then, you can copy paste the above code in the load event of the Silverlight Page. What you want is to return a list of object that your Silverlight dropdown can consume.

  Please refer to this link for example on how to populate dropdownlist in Silverlight.
