I have to admit my knowledge of C# is minimal. Knowledge of XAML is even 
smaller.

It is an option. I would probably need to package the C# UI part written by me 
as a DLL and then link it with client Java code providing the application 
logic written by a 3rd party.

To explain: I am interested in running any DukeScript (http://dukescript.com/) 
application on Windows Phone. Such applications have one WebView component as 
a UI and control its content in by a Java code.

I can realize the WebView in C# and write the necessary JavaScript/C# bindings 
in C#.  Package that as a DLL and only expose small interface to be 
implemented by Java (via ikvmstub) to bridge the Java client code to the C# 
UI.

If you say so, I can try the C#+XAML+DLL approach first.

OK. One more question: There are some warnings on web[1] indicating XAML in a 
DLL is not good idea. Is there by a chance a tutorial how to create XAML 
application without the XAML XML file? 

Thanks a lot for all your insight.
