If you browse the web you would find few articles on modular RIA Services applications.
Even if you visit the blog of Brad Abrams and open Business Apps Example for Silverlight 3 RTM and .NET RIA Services you will notice the post about Modular Development is not written yet.
This post belongs to RIA Services MVVM Prism LoB Application series, read Introduction post to find out more about it.

Translated to “human language”, a part of my bachelor thesis is implementation of modular business silverlight application build upon MVVM (Separated presentation) pattern and WCF RIA Services (simplifies the development of n-tier RIA solutions).
Application is published under open-source license and is located on CodePlex so you can download the source code and explore how this or that was done.
I decided to write a few separate articles to describe the solution.
Note: I plan to publish at least one article every week, so come back in month or two if you are interested.

I’m working on a Silverlight demo LoB application as a part of my bachelor thesis and I made a UI prototype with a couple of screens containing sample data and some basic functionality like navigating through screens, autocomplete boxes, some pop-up windows…
At first, check out the SketchFlow prototype (or just PDF exported document) which I’m going to describe here, to see whether the rest of article is interesting for you.
Download the source code of the project.
I encoutered a problem, when I wanted to load Employees entities also with some associated entities at once, from the well-known AdwentureWorks database model (in Entity Framework) via DomainService/Context in a .NET RIA Services SL Application.
So if you encountered the same problem, that initially your associated/referenced entities are null when loaded, read more to see how to solve this issue.

Although it looks that localization of Silverlight Business Applications is not worth of writing a post, there are some really inconspicuous problems which you have to resolve.
If you want to localize the application by creating resource files of strings for a particual language (AppStrings.sk-SK.resx, AppString.de-DE.resx) you should definitely read this post (with sample source-code) to not get into trouble.
