[dba-VB] LightSwitch Beta 2 and ASP.NET

Hi all

As you may know, LightSwitch is based on Silverlight - that is why you can deploy to desktop or web (or both) as you like.
Thus, if you wish to gain access from a browser with no Silverlight you are in trouble.

However, there is a method to gain access to your LightSwitch "backoffice" using ASP.NET only.
This article shows how (though in an unsupported way):

The key to making this work is that LightSwitch is built on top of standard Microsoft technologies such as RIA Domain Services. While this is not normally done, it is possible to connect to RIA Domain Services using ASP.NET code.
