Restricting Access to your WCF Service to a known Silverlight Client

Lately I’ve worked with a number of customers who are familiar with non-service-based ways of accessing their business logic. They typically come from one of two backgrounds: Client developers where the only connection out of the application is to the database. Web developers where all the logic exists on the server In both cases, they’re not typically working with physical application tiers, even if they logically separate their application. Internal n-tier/client-server developers typically don’t bother thinking about this problem, and Ajax devs, due to often being on the internet, paved this ground a while back. In a simplified version, this is what the typical breakdown looks like: The non-ajax web app gets to hide everything on the server, the client app “hides” everything on the client. The Silverlight app (and the same is true of ajax apps), however, must expose a service between the server and client. And thanks to standards, most everyone has the technology to access that service

Fluent Silverlight – Part 3 – Binding Events to Commands - Gabriel Schenker - Los Techies

In the last two posts I introduced Fluent Silverlight which is a new framework designed to offer a strongly typed alternative to the XAML based definition of Silverlight views and its “magic string” based data binding of properties of the view controls and I explained in details how we provide data binding between the view model and the view. In this post I want to discuss the details on how we bind events of Silverlight controls to corresponding commands defined i…

Silverlight 3 beta is out!

I’ve finally found the crossplatform development tool that I’ll heavily be using in the next few years.  To getthe runtime necessary to run silverlight 3 apps, go to http://silverlight.net/getstarted/silverlight3/default.aspx and install the developer runtime as that’s the only one available at the time of this post. ^^ Silverlight is a great alternative to the following dev kits: WindowsForms, which is more mature, but not as cutting edge and flexible as WPF Forms and its XAML design.
