As many of you may have heard, I recently launched http://GiveAQuiz.com as a new web site for creating and taking quizzes. The Data Team at Microsoft were great in helping me build this site. I’ve written a whitepaper detailing how we used the Microsoft data stack to accomplish it. This whitepaper shows how we used these data technologies to build the site:

  • SQL Server 2008
  • Entity Framework 4
  • WCF Data Services 4
  • Visual Studio 2010’s SQL Server Database Project
  • SQL Server Reporting Services

If you are using Microsoft’s Data stack for your own web-based and/or Silverlight site, give a look…hopefully some lessons learned you can use:
