Answer 1

Hi,

1) can i work in vs2010?

Yes.

2)what are the other installation requirements?

Every thing you need will be installed with the tools. If you get any errors you can post them here.

3)i have to use silverlight+mvvm

This two links should give you a starting point:

• http://www.silverlight.net/learn/advanced-techniques/the-mvvm-pattern/using-the-mvvm-pattern-in-silverlight-applications
• http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/MVVMQuickTutorial.aspx

what database should i use

That's up to you. My first choice would be SQL Server in combination with WCF Data Services to get data from the data source.

Hi,

did you tried it with the Web Platform Installer? http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx

Answer 4

i tried this...

it downloaded the vs201 sp1 but could not install it...i dont know why...it didnt give any error ...but it was stuck at one point for hours ....

i then tried it on my laptop...it says the web installer could not be started...i couldnt find any solution even after searching for hours...

 

i'm so disappointed..i think i should shift back to wp7 and make a simple application.... because if i keep on with this...i'll waste my time and effort....

 

previously i was using LINQ to XML as database with wp7....plz give me some good links ...
