With Silverlight 4 and RIA Services all but done, I thought it would be worthwhile to highlight some of the key features of the platform and tools that make Silverlight a fantastic platform for building business applications. I’ll avoid gratuitous video and dancing hippos and focus on just the bread and butter of business applications: Querying, Updating, Validating and securing your important business-data. I’ll also use this to refresh a few of the posts from my Silverlight 3 era series.
The walk through requires:
- Visual Studio 2010 (or the free express version)
- Silverlight 4 Tools (includes RIA Services)
You can download the completed application.
I authored this with Silverlight 4 RC, but I fully expect it to work with Silverlight 4 RTM.
