>OK cool. How about this evening we have a YUUGUU web conference and you tell me the clicks I need to do to build the app in 7 minutes? I have Visual Studio 2008, SQL2008 developer, and Silverlight 3 installed (the current development tools). I'll be happy to invite Pertti and some of the other people who are having a hard time with it. How about 9pm your time?
Don't need to ...
1. Install Adventure works..
2. Install Ria Framework
3 Create silverlight Application (Business apllication) hosted in asp.net website.
4 Add ADo .net entity data model to web project. Select adventure works and the employee table.
5 Add domain service class to web project
6. Add references to your client project:
System.Windows.Ria.Controls"
System.Windows.Controls.Navigation"
System.Windows.Controls.Data.DataForm.Toolkit"
Add employee page link : modify main page xaml nav links:
<Rectangle x:Name="Divider2" Style="{StaticResource DividerStyle}"/>
<HyperlinkButton x:Name="Link3" Style="{StaticResource LinkStyle}"
NavigateUri="/Employee" TargetName="ContentFrame" Content="employee"/> add the following to the employee page xaml:

Since I've done this a number of times, I can do it faster now than you.... so I'll give you a whole 15 mintues to finish the above.
