Creating a Silverlight 3 UI for info kiosk - by newbie
Hi,
(Not sure if I am posting this question in the correct forum)
I just discovered umbraco, and I am wondering how I can use it to power a Silverlight UI to be used for information kiosks at a museum? I typically need 10 kiosks each presenting their own theme. Within each theme there will be sub-themes with articles, pictures and videos.
Would you recommend me to use umbraco for this? If yes, can you point me to where I can get started? Any examples doing this already?
It explains how to get data to a Silverlight application using WCF, which I guess is the preferred way.
Assuming this is a good suggestion, I need to extract data from umbraco in a WCF web service.
I assume this is described in the wiki or elsewhere already, but can anyone confirm my strategy? And potentially direct me to a sample or alternative strategy?

I read this post: http://devnet.kentico.com/Blogs/Petr-Vozak/February-2009/Data-communication-in-Silverlight-2-0/Windows-Communication-Foundation-(WCF).aspx

Hi,
Maybe this project can get you started: http://silverlightumbraco.codeplex.com/

Thanks Tim!
I'll look at this project. First I need to set up umbraco, though...(and perhaps I'll get the same error as SiKo279).
is working on a reply...
