There are One option is to put your AutoCad file in a mxd and to publish this mxd with ArcGIS Server...

Later you can display your drawings using ArcGISDynamicmapServiceLayer in the SL Application.

if you want user add autocad drawings in SL directly , esei silverlight API have no official support  for shape files , i do not think there is something for autocad....

You can develop a geoprocessing tool that converts the CAD file to Featureset for and display it on Map as a Graphics layer.
