WCF RIA Services
Learn how to build data-backed Silverlight 4 applications with WCF RIA Services
What you'll learn
Microsoft WCF RIA Services provides a pattern to write application logic that runs on the mid-tier and controls access to data for queries, changes and custom operations. It also provides end-to-end support for common tasks such as data validation, authentication and roles by integrating with Silverlight components on the client and ASP.NET on the mid-tier.
