Database Connectivity in Silverlight Web Application
-
Hi All, I want Database Connectivity in my Silverlight Web Application without using WCF service. Is is possible? I have googled but no luck. Thank U, Sunil G.
Hi Sunil, When you want to use Silverlight for Web Developement and at the same time want to communicate with the database then you only have the option of service, whether Web Service of WCF Service. But why don't you want to use WCF..?

You can use the Entity framework - http://michaelsync.net/2008/01/15/consuming-adonet-data-service-astoria-from-silverlight[^].
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick

No. Its not possible in silverlight. Silverlight runs client side and it cannot make server side calls.

Sorry, but it is possible to have a local client side database. There are a number of projects which aim to provide this functionality via Isolated Storage. Here's[^] one such example.

Well i don't think its no a problem to achieve that , but its not a good way to go. I have some Silverlight Apps that Connects to the Database without using WCF , i am just using pure OOP , but these are very small apps, the way to go is RIA. You need to use WCF Services its much easier like that.
