I have been charged with changing an existing dashboard report i did in SSRS to using Silverlight, and 'flashing' it up.
Silverlight cannot do direct queries on sql server.
it cannot connect directly to the sql server
like in asp.net for instance.
A web service needs to have a database connection on the sql server database and it creates entity classes.
the thing is I need to check if it's not possible to use the ssrs web service directly in Silvelight? (My question)
because, if you think about it, the ssrs will return the data already formatted for the display the Silverlight app still needs to parse that to get what it needs in order to display it for instance
