Silverlight CRUD Presentation

I'll be giving another presentation on Wednesday for the TRINUG Web Application focus group at Channel Advisor (map). This will be a follow up form my last presentation a couple of months ago on data binding. I'll be walking through creating a simple WCF service for handling CRUD operations to a SQL Express database using LINQ. Then consuming the service in a Silverlight application.

In the last presentation we had enough people with laptops that it evolved into a hands-on lab which I thought turned out great. Things moved a little slower, but much more fun than looking at a Power Point card deck! I am hoping we do that again. To help with that the starting project can be downloaded here. It is just the base web project with a SQL Express database. To test it just build and run the project. You should see a grid view with three records.

# re: Silverlight CRUD Presentation

Jeremy,
Thank you for last night presentation – it was awesome as far as I concerned!
Like hands-on format. Will help if knew in advance of software pre-requisite. I was missing SilverLight add-on (da!?.) and now catching up with download code. I'm also new to WCF.
In any event it has been an eye opener; SilverLight can do a lot for me on the front-end (read rapid UI development) I'm bit skeptical though on how well it will handle large and/or complex data sets with LINQ. I'm SQL nut and will do some experimenting; will keep you updated.
