We don't have a large collection of complex BOS applications.  That is not our goal.  Rather,we try to show you how to take any application and deploy it in a BOS environment.  Look in the Learning Resources for the material on Deployment.

Hi, unless you're trying to do something fancy, you don't need the app.config or ServiceReferences.ClientConfig.
 
Try deploying a simple application that was created with the DevForce Silverlight Template.  It has all the correct settings that you need.  The server-side configuration is all set up, and you don't require any client-side configuration.

Hi,

I maintain an application that's sort of a shared infrastructure.  Three companies in the same group host their databases on the same server; the BOS filters connections to this via datasource extensions. 

Currently, we use DevForce 5.x and are planning to move to DevForce 6.x.  Are you saying these service configuration issues go away?  One new feature of .NET 4 is not having to have physical .svc files?

In DevForce 2010, we make a call to RegisterVirtualPathProvider in the Global.asax to dynamically create the services, so you don't need the .svc files any more.  You would still have your database and database extensions defined in the <connectionStrings> section of the web.config though.

Hi again,

How about datasource keys?  Do we still get to define those?

Would you mind giving a sample of the key components of the app.config file will look like as well as the web.config file?

Say COA, COB, COC are the three companies in the group and EBODomainContext is the generated EntityManager Name and DataSourceKey (you encouraging uniformity in convention here, kind of cool though?).  What will the keys look like on either end?

Guess I am being lazy?

Instead of defining the <edmKeys> in a separate (and redundant) element, you now just use the <connectionStrings> element created by the Entity Framework.  Your settings should look something like this:
 
  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="EBODomainContext_COA" connectionString="metadata=..." providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
    <add name="EBODomainContext_COB" connectionString="metadata=..." providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
    <add name="EBODomainContext_COC" connectionString="metadata=..." providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
  </connectionStrings>
