Hi All,
I've reviewed the RIA Services Silverlgiht solution template and see that it relies on ASP.NET membership and role API as well as a database for storage. The end product will likely make use of RIA Services, but my initial charge is to create a prototype without any database connectivity. That is, I need to setup authentication, create an object datasource for my various entities etc. all without using SQL Server at this stage in the process. I suspect these will come into play if/when the prototype is approved and will be operationalized.
Questions: 1. How do I achieve authentication in my Silverlight 4 app without use of a database? 2. How difficult will it be to convert my prototype to a RIA Services project at a later date? 3. Can you provide any links or articles that use Silverlight 4 with the Object Data Source? My search yielded a blog post using SL3, but nothing more recent.
Thanks, Sid
