We have a report that compares data between weeks, and it seems like this is the exception and not the rule in the reporting world. I'm looking for an elegant way of selecting "a week" in a Silverlight control.

In the past, if we've needed to get data out in a non-specific structure (which is quite uncommon), then we used DataSets. These are obviously not supported in Silverlight so I was wondering what alternatives there are for getting back d...

I know that with perseverance and flexibility I can probab...
