Question

I am writing an application ( WPF ) where i use the prism framework. I have a client with the shellview.
I have some module’s. So that are different projects. Each module is a sepperate project.
The modules are loaded by Unity.

I have the following

Solution
 Client
    Modules
    Client ( app )

 Common
    Entities

 Server
    Data
    Web

So you can see i have an Data Project under the server folder. There you can find the edmx.
The Web project is empty, the Entities project is also empty.

The Client (app) has a shellview with its bootstrapper.
The client works. Only the data access layer must be integrated.

What is the best solution to do the data access? WCF, something else?
What template do we need to use for the entities. How can we use the service in the modules where al the code (View/ViewModel) is?

Pff, i am looking and read so much.
Found some topics on stackoverflow. But none of the topics start’s from the begin.
Hope someone can help me.

Answer 1

I suggest you to generate POCO or STE on .edmx and use the Repository Pattern for database access. Create a Separate WCF Service Project and call these repositories.

Your Prism Solution will have a Proxy Project with Static Class to return Service Object and your Client (Prism) App will call the WCF Services.
