There is ASMX, WCF, REST, and ADO.NET Data Services… I’ve used WCF and ASMX succesfully with Silverlight 2, but what about the others? What are the pros and cons of using each type of service with Silverlight 2?

    You have multitude of options –

    1. RESTful webservice (if u need more than just CRUD) + ADO.net Data Service (Data)
    2. The Tried and tested ASMX
    3. Build an all in one WCF service that uses SOAP/HTTP/TCP/JSON/Your custome binding

    Number 3 is my personal choice.
