Silverlight 4 includes the WCF Data Services client library, using which you can now easily access data from any service that exposes an OData or REST end-points. The ‘Add Service Reference’ feature in Visual Studio 2010 makes this very easy to implement.
With the latest release of nRoute we've added a trove of navigation-related features, to explain and demonstrate these features I've put together an end-to-end application that fronts the Netflix's oData Catalog. And so in this post we'll go through using these feature in a step-by-step manner to cumulatively compose a rich, extensible, and loosely-coupled application.
I just got done firing my media center machine up and started the process of getting Netflix on the box. It showed up under the Program Library and I followed the minimal instructions to get it working…restarted Media Center (not the machine) and boom, done. I love how the branded experience of their application matches their online app as well as their overall brand identity very well
