  Great posts. Questions: The same DomainService class can use WCF as a data source or the WCF service can use the DomainService to implement the logic of the service? I really love the concept of .NET RIA services because I can take the same app logic build a silverlight application and if I dont like the Silverlight application, I can go ahead and build a ASP.NET website. Am I correct in this assumption? Also, would it be a wise move to start using this technology which is not yet fully supported? If I do build an application using WCF, Silverlight, Linq to SQL, etc, etc, would it be a daunting task to start using .NET RIA services? Thanks
