Data communication in Silverlight 2.0

Petr Vozak — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 18:48:57 GMT

I have prepared an overview how the Silverlight application can exchange data with your web application. Each of the ways is completed with the step-by-step example using the data from Kentico CMS database.

8 - Summary

Petr Vozak — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 04:07:46 GMT

Let's make a summary of all described communication methods.

6 - Data communication - HTTP-Based Services

Petr Vozak — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 04:07:13 GMT

HTTP-based services do not require to create a proxy class. You can access them directly using HTTP requests. Silverlight provides two methods for sending HTTP requests: WebClient and HttpWebRequest.

5 - Data communication - ADO.NET Data Services

Petr Vozak — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 04:06:37 GMT

ADO.NET Data Services allows applications to expose data over the internet via standard HTTP protocol.

4 - Data communication - Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)

Petr Vozak — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 03:36:08 GMT

WCF "web services" are part of a much broader spectrum of remote communication enabled through WCF. You will get a much higher degree of flexibility doing things in WCF. ASMX is older than WCF, and anything ASMX can do so can WCF (and more).

3 - Data communication - ASP.NET Web Services (ASMX)

Petr Vozak — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 02:16:22 GMT

It is one of the easy ways. All you need to do is to implement a simple web method which will return requested data.

2 - Demo application

Petr Vozak — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 01:13:04 GMT

For the purpose of the tutorial I have created simple Silverlight application called "SilverlightDemo" which brings you the possibility to find specified users.

1 - Synchronization and cross-domain access

Petr Vozak — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 01:09:50 GMT

You will be disappointed if you think about the direct access to the database - you can't communicate with database directly from Silverlight. Moreover, objects like DataSet, DataTable and others are unknown for it. The only way is to use specialized services and requests which enable you to get the data from database. No matter which one of the method you choose, be aware of two important facts - synchronization and cross-domain access.
