Abstract:
One of the great things about WPF and Silverlight is that they’re both built on top of XAML and with Silverlight 2.0 you can leverage the latest data manipulation capabilities of LINQ. In this session we’ll take a look at a basic WPF application that pulls data from a web service. We will explore VB.NET’s XML Literals as we work with the information. Then we will take that application and migrate it to Silverlight 2.0 and show how the security model and communications mechanisms impact the way we design and build applications.
