WPF App with WCF Data - EF, Linq2Sql or WCF Data Services - None Seem 'Easy?

This is a tad subjective, but i'll offer my opinion.

That might be a first impression - but it's fundamentally wrong. What you're exposing over the web is a model - and you have full control over what gets into that model, and how consumers of your WCF Data Services might be able to see and/or even update entities in that model.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
