In this part . . .
No Web application is complete without retrieving data from somewhere and displaying it to users.

The final two chapters in this part discuss WCF RIA Services, which is a Web service with a variety of advantages over WCF Data Services. In these chapters, you find out how to retrieve data from a database, validate user input, and authenticate your users.
