title: How to retrieve single record in WCF RIA Services?
body: <p>I'm using WCF RIA Services and I have a domain service method that returns a single entity. In my Silverlight client project I'm now using following code to retrieve that entity:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ctxt.Load(ctxt.GetEmployeeByNumberQuery("ABC123")).Completed += new System.EventHandler(EmployeeLoad_Completed);
  
  
      void EmployeeLoad_Completed(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
      {
          Employee myEmployee = (sender as LoadOperation&lt;Employee&gt;).Entities.FirstOrDefault();
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any better or more elegant method?</p>
