A walkthrough for retrieving data from a database and consuming it in a Silverlight application. Have a look before you start building your business applications in Silverlight.

A detailed article intended for developers starting Silverlight. It discusses how data from a database can be retrieved and consumed in a Silverlight application. It talks about how LINQ objects are returned using a WCF service and then displayed in a Silverlight application. On the layout side, it looks at the ListBox and DataGrid and provides an introduction to the data templates too. Since most of the Silverlight programmers have past experience of ASP.NET so the similarities between ASP.NET and Silverlight are also discussed.

Other Silverlight information available on my blog:
