quick and dirty client/server communication in Silverlight
- by Mark
I'm building a few small prototypes in Silverlight and have quite a bit of .NET experience, but Ive never had the need to contact the server from Silverlight.
Im really just after a really quick solution for the purposes of prototyping and I'll be needing to call the server and do a few things, like server a generated image from the server, receive basic responses from the server, but nothing too fancy.
Is .NET RIA Services the best way to do this or is it overkill?
The documentation for RIA Services is huge, 1 hour long video introductions, 26-part series blogs, etc... seems like its overkill.
Is there a quick REST based project I could create, or should RIA services be the way to go?
