Silverlight 2 Game Store!

Url: http://www.silverlightdata.com

To replace my old Silverlight 1.1 Demo using data, I’ve concocted an XBox Video Game store called AGGames:

When you first go to the site it will prompt you to install Silverlight 2 runtime.  There are some small issues with some features work correctly unless you reboot the browser.  If you run into issues watching the page, please close and re-launch the browser to make sure Silverlight 2 is loaded correctly.  To download the runtime directly, follow this link:

This example uses:

• Silverlight 2
  • Control Model
  • Data Binding
  • Styles
  • Control Templates
  • A bunch of others…
• ASP.NET
  • Using the Silverlight ASP.NET Control to host the App
• WCF
  • Exposes endpoints that are consumed by Silverlight 2
• Entity Framework
  • Data Access Layer is Entity Framework
  • Includes derived types Data Contracts
  • Prepared to switch from WCF to Astoria (ADO.NET Data Services) when the Silverlight 2 client ships

I plan on making the source available once MIX is over.  Let me know what you think!
