When using .NET RIA Services and MVVM in Silverlight 3.0 is there a difference between the Metadata type from RIA Services and the ViewModel from the MVVM pattern?

I started looking at Silverlight.FX by Nikhil Kothari to replace Prism/Unity with our Silverlight 3 project. So far I like the code layout and structure. It looks well thought out. But I can't get a lot of the samples working due to a System.Reflection.AmbiguousMatchException. Anyone else seeing this? Should I not be using this framewo...

Where is the best place to put business rules in an RIA Silverlight application? I thought the Domain Service would be a good spot except it seems to only share Data to the client tier. I don't think the ViewModel is a good idea since we should have Business Rules in the server tier. In shared code? *.shared.cs? Where do you put your ...
