I am currently creating an application that consists of two parts: the user interface and the administration server. The front end is an ASP.NET MVC application, and the backend is a Silverlight application. I started the project by creating a silverlight business application called Administration, adding two projects: the Silverlight application (Administration) and the web hosting application (Administration.Web). I want to use RIA services with a silverlight application, so I added the Entity data model and built the service.
The problem is that I would like to add an ASP.NET MVC project and a link to a project containing a data model. I would prefer that the data model exist in my own project, and not one, so the administrator and interface can refer to the class library and not to the asp.net web application.
Can I move the .edmx file to another project (class library) and continue to use RIA services?
