west-wind.com — So I’m finally getting an opportunity to work with Silverlight in a real application. I had mentioned this application in the past a few weeks back – the original application architecture was created as a Flash front end to a .NET backend which provides service style XML data. In the original app the server infrastructure was used purely to serve data to the client – basically a complex, mostly meta data drive SQL Engine based on complex stored procedures feed the client Xml data. Originally our data format has been DataSets because those were the easiest way to consume the data in the Flash client since there’s native support for DataSets and it greatly facilitated the process of passing data to flash and the format is basic enough that it’s easy to send update data back from the client (manually created in this case) original link
