    I am thinking of doing an article on Silverlight treeview (I know done to death but I like to think I have an interesting take on the design) and was thinking of the bits required. I would probably use AdventureWorks for the data. Now here is the stray thought! WCF services are pretty much a no brainer, especially if you only want to supply select functionality, so why does Microsoft not set up a public WCF to service all the demo/article/sample requirement for AdventureWorks. Allow anyone to get a List<> of any table or view in the database.

        Thank you, presumably this is exactly what I was looking for, a WCF of the AdventureWorks data.
