Is it possible to access the BOS from the code-behind of an ASP.NET page?
 
The reason I ask is that I have a registration page in ASP.net, and there is some initial configuration I would like to do at the same time before the person signs into the app the first time.  It would be great to be able to access the BOS from the code-behind.  The only alternative I can think of is direct database access.

You can create an EntityManager in an ASP.NET application, just as in any other type of application.  That EntityManager can work in 2-tier or n-tier mode too.  If your registration page is at the same site as your BOS it will be easiest to use the EM in 2-tier mode, and do whatever queries and saves you need.  If the BOS is at a different site that's not problem either - the EM can connect to the BOS and then do what it needs.

Wow, that's awesome. 
I didn't realize the whole DevForce framework worked inside of ASP.net websites in the same way that it works for SL and WPF apps.  
 
It seems to me that there is a lot of potential use of DevForce from developers creating websites who want an easier way to get data in and out of a database.

Thanks, Greg.  DevForce does work in SL, desktop and ASP.NET, and hopefully more in the not too distant future.  I guess we need to improve our messaging!
