Some customers have asked about the “live” version I have running on one of Scott Haneslman’s servers (thanks Scott!) [..]
Scott gave me a FTP access and a web server, but I didn’t want to hassle with setting up a database (though he did offer). So I thought I'd use the POCO support in RIA Services to just get data from plain old CLR objects. Personally, I think far too many of our samples show only Entity Framework… So this is a good excuse to show that off.
