QuestionData Access for dummies... Pin

OK, so I've worked with Winforms and Webforms for 20 years.

But now I've been thrown into building a Silverlight 4 application from scratch without ANY previous training. So please bear with me if I ask some questions here that seems stupid to people who have worked a lot with Silverlight before.

My first worry is: Do you really have to use WCF/Entity Framework services to access data from a Silverlight app. Can't you use the traditional ADO.Net objects (SqlDataConnection, SqlCommand, SqlDataReader etc) and access the SQL server directly like you can from a Webforms app?

The reason I ask is that my few tests have shown me that compared to a Webapp with ADO.Net data access, WCF and Entity Framework services are painfully slow. And since I know already from the specs that we need the performance to be absolutely optimal, I would prefer to do it the traditional way.

However, when I choose add reference in my Silverlight project and want to add System.Data.SqlClient, it's not there. That makes me wonder if it's not possible to use it. Confused | :confused:

????

TIA!
