    We are working on a project with a 2 years timeout. our project is a Data-Driven application with Rich UX and entirely our manager predicts 200K code with 400+ use-case.hence we started a survey on different approach and a brief conclusion is :

    • MVVM Light Toolkit(the Messenger class have a power-full features)
    • WCF for interaction with Server and Database (debug features and we prefer work with DB through ADO.Net,actually hand-written code!)

    and very details that overally we obtain from Pro Business Applications with Silverlight 4 and Microsoft Silverlight 4 Data and Services Cookbook
