A few folks commented that they’d like to see something in Brad's series on updating his Mix09 talk “building business applications with Silverlight 3” in Visual Basic so he decided to fulfil their wishes.
VB is *super* important in the business application space, so I have no problem accommodating that request. By while I was at it I thought i’d also show a WPF client for RIA Services via the very cool ADO.NET Data Services support we have. This is much like the WinForms support I showed earlier.

- Part 12: DataSet
- Part 11: The Client-Only World
