"Great chapter" - by Anonymous on 30-JUL-2012
Reviewer Rating:
I've been having trouble incorporating stored procedures from existing databases into Lightswitch and was frustrated until reading chapter 19, section "Calling stored procedures through WCF RIA Service". The clarity of explanation with the step by step walkthrough in the example was a life safer worth the cost of the book by itself.
