The easiest way to start a DevForce application is to use one of the pre-defined DevForce templates in Visual Studio.  These contain all the configuration files and settings that you need to make the application work, and when you're ready to deploy, you can just copy these files to the server.

If you have an existing project that you'd like to convert to DevForce, the best way to do this is to create a dummy project using a DevForce template and to copy the settings over to your application.  Make sure to get these items:

Global.asax
Web.config
Copy the DevForce assembly references
  The DevForce references in the Silverlight project should all end in .SL
  The DevForce references in the server project should not have .SL

Also, after you create your EDMX, make sure that Model.IB.Designer.cs and your partial classes are added as linked files to the Silverlight project.

And remember to add Using IdeaBlade.EntityModel to your source files, otherwise you will not see the LINQ extension methods.
