As i am new to the WCF framework, i was wondering how i would incorporate a login structure that would interact with Silverlight

Current need.

I have a login usercontrol in silverlight and i want to enable the ability for someone to input their credentials and then through the WCF service, have them authenticated.

I am a little confused with the Events and how to incorporate them for the validation.

In the past i have used BLL/DAL interaction with ASP websites but am in need of using the WCF for the same procedure.

What kind of database system are you wanting them authenticated against?

What have you tried?

It will be a very simple DBMS ( MSSQL or MySQL). I know you cant directly access the DBMS from Silverlight but through some research i found that you can attach to a WCF Svc and communicate via this gateway. Problem is that most of the services return basically Record Set results. I am interested in having some of the data information returning only Boolean or Numeric values instead of a full record-set of values.

I am new to the whole WCF side of things and am not really educated on the framework enough to play with it. Although it resembles alot of the DAL/BLL relationship, with a really big twist.

If you need to know what the need is for is a active game. Its a little thing im working on. Nothing professional, only to play with.

Wow, no response from the Pnut gallery in almost a month.

Are you still in need of some help with this ?

Does this help? This is using WCF in a Silverlight application for authentication purposes.
