Yesterday I wrote about how to databind RadTreeView for Silverlight to ADO.NET Data Service and use Load on Demand. The simple application from yesterday was upgraded to a small back-end application for the Northwind database, that allows editing and deleting products. This time I decided to give it to one of our designers and our new Silverlight front end developer and they implemented this slick design: The application is available online: http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/northwindbackend/Default.aspx The source code can be downloaded from here: NorthwindBackend.zip In addition to yesterday's application, NorthwindBackend has extended data source, that provides simple undo mechanism and ability to update and delete products...

In general there are few major obstacles to overcome when designing an efficient N-Tier application. The persistence storage of a modern application is usually a RDBMS. These kinds of systems store information in a highly efficient way and allow fast retrieval, information queries and scalability, and all that...
