Jesse Liberty has posted a new tutorial demonstrating how to build a web service and Silverlight client application on top of a SQL data store. This shows off a number of features including LINQ, WCF, and Silverlight controls.
Here are the major steps covered; some of the basic application functionality is recycled from earlier tutorials.
-
Using a Silverlight web application project to create a solution with client and service projects
-
Generating a LINQ mapping from your SQL tables
