I have created

a) a basic application MVVMLight framework.

b) another project in the same solution having an Entity Model (NorthwindModel.edmx).

c) a WCF service to retrieve data through the entity model.

Now I want to link a, b, and c together. How do the project mentioned in a) above interact with the other two? How can I display/bind the data using the edmx in the View of the MVVM?
Do I have to write code in the ViewModel class/classes to achieve this?

I browsed through many websites, checked many questions here on SO, but none seems to throw any light for me in this regard. The examples that I saw involved a lot of coding in the ViewModel class. If that’s the only way to go about it, then why do people say MVVM with Silverlight requires very little coding?
