Visual Studio LightSwitch - Beyond the Basics

[EDN Admin]

<img src="http://ecn.channel9.msdn.com/o9/ch9/6296/566296/LightSwitchBeyondBasics_85_ch9.png" border="0" />In this interview with Joe Binder, a Program Manager on the LightSwitch team, we discuss the LightSwitch application framework architecture and how a LightSwitch application is built on top of well-known technologies like Silverlight, MVVM, RIA Services, and Entity Framework. Joe shows us how to modify the behavior of a screen and how it exposes the commanding pattern in an easy-to-use way. He also shows us how to extend the UI with our own custom Silverlight controls, as well as how to connect our own data sources using RIA Services.
