I'm newbie in Silverlight world. I read number of articles to establish connection with SQL Server using Silverlight but sorry to say no one give me concrete results. I want to first make a connection with SQL Server database and then simply load data in combo box. Can anyone give any sound step wise example to make connection with Silverlight project. I found WCF service which is quite helpful to establish connection but feel difficulty to map this service. Please also suggest any other web service with WCF, thanks.
