Silverlight 3 - PRISM - Retrieve and Load Module Definitions using WCF - Possible?

Question

We are starting to use Silverlight 3 and PRISM and are successful to load modules by reading from a XAML file. However, I would like to be able to read those definitions from a database table using a WCF call.

I have the WCF call returning data, however WCF is called asynchronously and I cannot get this to work using any of the standard thread synchronization.

Any ideas??

This was answered by another individual on the Microsoft forums and it worked very well. Here is the solution.

-You can make a service call in you App.xaml.cs in the Application_Startup.

-Then create a parameter that will keep a list of objects received from the database in your bootstrapper.

-On the completed event of your service call, that you called from Application_Startup, set the list of objects in your bootstrapper and then call the bootstrapper.Run.

-In you GetModuleCatalog you can then build up a new ModuleCatalog.
