Consuming Data from the Server

In Chapter 4, we looked at exposing data from the server, briefly using plain WCF Services and then RIA Services in more depth. It's now time to switch to the client side and look at consuming data from these services. In this chapter, we'll briefly look at how you can access data exposed by a WCF Service, before moving on to how you consume data using RIA Services—including querying data and submitting any changes back to the server.
