Silverlight Application with WCF Service and Child Windows as Popups - Part 1

Introduction

In this application, I create a meeting scheduler using which one can schedule a meeting and call other colleagues to attend the meeting. This application uses the WCF services to fetch and save records. I have also used Silverlight child window to get the saved contacts to send mail to them. Child window is used as popup for adding contacts in the scheduler forms. This application is very useful for all those to just started learning Silverlight and have confusion with the basics of its interaction with database only through WCF services or webservices.

Tools and Technologies Used to Develop this Application

Visual Studio 2010

C# 4.0

Silverlight 4

SQL Server 2008

WCF Services

Step by Step Description of this Application

Create a new Silverlight application in Visual Studio 2010 File->New->Project -> select Silverlight in Visual C# -> select Silverlight Application. Rename it to Meetingschedule and click on ok. A popup window is prompted, click ok for that too.

You can see two projects in the solution explorer; one is the Silverlight project and another is the web project which is used to consume the Silverlight application.

Now our main purpose is to design the form in MainPage.xaml in Silverlight application. Below, you can see the XAML code for the form design, also how this design should be seen in the browser.
