Hi Paolo,

I'm not sure I completely understand your scenario, but I don't think you need to define any custom services. If you start with the DevForce n-Tier WPF Application Template in Visual Studio, all the service references for DevForce are created automatically. You can call the stored procedures from the client and DevForce will route the call to the server and return the results back to you automatically.

If you need to invoke a custom method on the server, you can do this with the Remote Server Method Call:

Placing the dynamically loaded dlls on the webserver should be ok, but I'll need to check with our architects on the best practices for this.

For others reading this thread, our dynamic loading documentation for Silverlight is here (http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/on-demand-discovery), but the code for WPF will be different.

Hello,
I've spent last week working on a mockup project with DevForce Application Framework , Caliburn and so on....
Now that I've started managing stuffs I need your help for choosing what's best...

I'm to develop a WPF application that works most with complex type (imported from Stored Procedure), for now I've attached my own edmx in the WPF project and everything works fine...

I don't like at all the fact that each client have access to the DB (even if I put the edmx in a separate dll, it'll live inproc and run on the client).. I've tried to use a webserver, but in that way I've to

Create a svc for each macro area I wish to export
Add a service reference to the web server on the WPF client, but in that way I've a strong reference to the server... doesn't this break up on modularity?
What if I create 2 different modules that will be loaded on demand, should they will reside on the webserver?

Thanks

Paolo
