Is there any way to login to Live for an App (Silverlight, WP7 can) without having to click on SignIn button.

Great answer Richard. This really helped a lot.

I noticed a couple of comments from people complaining that they couldn't find the InitializedCompleted event. If you're coding in .Net 4.5 then you need to follow the async/await pattern for asynchronous methods. The class above would look like this:

public class LiveLogin
    {
        private static readonly string[] Scopes =
            new[]
                {
                    "wl.signin",
                    "wl.basic",
                    "wl.calendars",
                    "wl.calendars_update",
                    "wl.contacts_calendars",
                    "wl.events_create"
                };

        private LiveAuthClient _authClient;



        public async Task Login()
        {
            _authClient = new LiveAuthClient("**your client id here**");

            LiveLoginResult result = await _authClient.InitializeAsync(Scopes);
            if (result.Status == LiveConnectSessionStatus.Connected)
            {
                return new LiveConnectClient(result.Session);
            }
            result = await _authClient.LoginAsync(Scopes);
            if (result.Status == LiveConnectSessionStatus.Connected)
            {
                return new LiveConnectClient(result.Session);
            }
            return null;
        }


    }

MS have an async await primer here
