Anoop Madhusudanan, a Client App Development MVP from India, has created a Silverlight client for Scott Hanselman's Nerd dinner.

The application pulls Dinners and RSVPs from Nerd Dinner website over the oData endpoint, and show them via the Bing maps control for Silverlight. The app is available open-source.

  3. Use NerdDinner oData endpoint to pull Dinners and RSVPs from our Silverlight client
  4. Show them in a Bing map using Bing’s Silverlight Map SDK by geo-coding the addresses
  5. Enable our Silverlight application to run Out of Browser
