Good tutorial, I´d like to the see the hairy part (e.g. change data, and updating it on the server) too..would that be possible?

Interesting tutorial. I hope that the tools will be better in RTM as there is way too much Xml to type.

The ClientBin folder is not created for me when I create the solution (and thus, neither is the EndToEndSilverlightDemo.xap file, which leads to errors in the designer). Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Adrian asks about showing the "harder" parts of a data centeric application such as updating the data. That is a great ask, I will look into it for my next pots.

Pawel points out there is lots of Xaml editing here.. I am doing that to show what is really happening.. you can do 100% of the Xaml editing I show here in Expression Blend in design time. And, yes VS is getting better and better the Xaml design surface.

David Fauber isn't seeing the ClientBin folder created in the server project. I think this could be becaus you have not done a full build of the solution yet.

Hi,

How can the data grid be populated without linq, i have data constructs that are constructed through business logic and not just from a simple select statement from the database. I've tried just creating a simple class with a single public string variable set with a value and then push an array of those to the ItemsSources property with no joy.

What is the proper way to pass arbitary data to this grid?

Very good Tutorial Brad Abrams.

Very Interesting !

Martin asks about Databinding to .NET Objects rather than LINQ... Scott covers that in his blog post here:

http://blogs.msdn.com/scmorris/archive/2008/03/21/using-the-silverlight-datagrid.aspx

One thing you need to be sure of is that you use public properites rather than fields...

Very informative post, and I'm glad to see that you covered the basic httpBinding issue with WCF, as that was a stumbling block for me when I tried to build a simple data-driven app in Silverlight for a demo recently. I'm giving a similar demo at a user group meeting again in a couple of months and will look to incorporate use of IsolatedStorage for 'caching' as you've done here. I found your previous posts to this very helpful in putting my own demos together, thanks!

Wow, great tutorial. I just wrote one very similair to this and yours puts mine to shame! I especially like the part which covers database access.

Like Adrian, I'd also like to see the harder parts:

- edit a row

- implement a little business logic

- data validation (using the business logic)

- relation to other tables (master-detail view)

I know CSLA.NET should be a great fit for this, but what if I can't use that, and am 'stuck' with only the MS provided bits.

Can I use the Validation Block of EntLib?

Can I use WF to hold UI workflow?

Great start, many more posts to come?

Security.

The end to end application is what I am targeting for now, but I see a big security hole for this model.

Since we have to expose all discrete functionalities in web services, which means anybody can call those web services, as long as your silverlight application can.

There's no easy way to restrict those web services to be called only by your silverlight application, or you have build security inside the business layer. This is a big change to normal website applications. Most people build security into UI instead. i.e. Security drives UI, and you can only rich certain UI based on your credential, and then you can only performance certain functionalities in that UI. If we switch to Web Service approach, we will have to define security for every webservice call. Which is a huge amount of work, consider you could have so many web services.

Any idea?

There is an error on the text give for the GetProducts method. The correct body of the method is:

NorthWindDataContext db = new NorthWindDataContext();

var q = from p in db.Products

where p.ProductName.StartsWith(productNamePrefix)

select p;

return q.ToList();
