Silverlight 2 + WCF Service Deployment Issue

Codename Silver

Sounds like a game? One of the goals for the WCF/WF teams was to integrate WCF and WF more closely in Orcas Beta 2. This project was names Silver.

Great WCF end-to-end sample application

While on my quest to learn more about WCF, I found this excellent sample application from microsoft called Stock Trader.
