title: What kind of WCF services should I create for WPF application? / Domain services
body: <p>I need to write server &amp; client part. I need guidance how to start with WCF web-services.</p>
  
  <p>I need to create WPF application that at the beginning will be simple UI for database tables, but later will consume data from server as WCF services.
  I was looking at <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/lightswitch" rel="nofollow noreferrer">LightSwitch</a>, but it seems impossible to integrated it later with server part.</p>
  
  <p>In Visual Studio 2010 after I create WPFApplication1 project I have Data Sources docked window. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/qTA3i.png" alt="Data Sources"></p>
  
  <p>Then I can add new data source and select services

  <p>What kind of WCF services should I create for WPF application?</p>
  
  <p>I would like something like WCF RIA Services / Domain services, but they are only for RIA.
  At least no support from Microsoft. What is classic way for creating services for WPF application?</p>
