title: Where can I find resources for setting up a Silverlight app that accesses sql server 2008 Express DB?
body: <p>I am trying to set up a basic Silverlight application to run behind the firewall on my Windows XP machine with IIS 5.1.  We have a MySQL server for production purposes, but I would like to set up SQL Server 2008 Express Edition on my Windows XP machine to host the database part of the application.  </p>
  
  <p>I'm completely new to a lot of .NET develoment but would like to find the resources to get started.  I've checked out <a href="http://Silverlight.net/GetStarted" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Silverlight.net/GetStarted/</A>, but unless I missed something there, this step wasn't explicitly there.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know where I could go to read about how to do this and maybe a simple walthrough of a sample Silverlight application written to access SQL Server 2008 Express?</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions and links would be much appreciated.</p>
