Silverlight data-driven application with NHibernate
- by Tigraine
Hi Guys, this is more of a subjective Question, but I'll ask it anyway.
I'm about to develop a very data-centric application that has to run inside the browser. The frontend will be Silverlight, backed by a Fluent NHibernate service that runs server side.
The problem here is: Wherever I look for data-driven silverlight app I wind up finding Silverlight RIA services examples, but nothing on how to build this without some ADO.NET stuff involved.
I have little to no knowledge in WCF so far, but from the limited research I did it seems like WCF is pretty much the only way to let the client talk to the server.
Are there any tutorials/best practices on how to write a Silverlight MVVM app that provides CRUD for a non-EF database?
Suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks
PS: I can't use .NET remoting. The backend has to run on IIS6 :(
