Can a Silverlight binding resolve data?

If you bind your Silverlight object to some database fields, when you change the data, does it automatically update the database?

Hi,

The updation in the control will not update the database. You'll have to write code for that.

Basically you cannot databind to a database table and fields. There needs to be a layer between the database and your Silverlight application. This layer can be written in plain old Webservices / WCF ( or RIA Services in the future).

Also it's not possible to automatically update the database, you will have to do some coding for that to happen.
