Question

I am planning on creating a new data-driven Client/Server application with the flexibility to have WPF, Silverlight, and mobile clients. I am already well versed in WPF and need to learn how to implement the back end. Everything I’ve read is pointing me toward using WCF + Entity Framework.

I have yet to find a realistic example of combining these three technologies. I want to use WPF’s databinding to be able to easily bind to database objects in a way that avoids as much procedural code as possible.

I looked at this example based on Prism but it looks like it was never finished, it doesn’t really do anything, it’s basically a glorified “Hello World!”

Answer 1

I have done some digging and this is what I’ve found:

Karl Shifflett’s Netflix Stuff Application
(WPF, MVVM, Data Services)

IssueVision
(Silverlight, MVVM, WCF RIA Services, Entity Data Model)
