Silverlight dataGrid + grid issue

So it seems you can't use a dataset, datatable, datarow, or nearly anything else to send silverlight controls data. The only thing it did allow was LINQ to SQL.  Either way I finally got a data display going.
 Here's the Xaml.
[code]

1: <UserControl xmlns:data="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Data" x:Class="SilverlightApplication1.Page" 

2:  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" 

3:  xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" 

4:  Width="500" Height="300"> 

5:  <!--If you don't put a Grid or some other container on your control you wind up only being able to display one 'thing'--> 

6:  <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White" ShowGridLines="True"> 

7: <!--If you don't give it row definitions it wound up only showing a single 'thing' in the grid--> 

8:  <Grid.RowDefinitions> 

9:  <RowDefinition Height="8*" /> <!--The star is for proportional sizing--> 

10:  <RowDefinition Height="2*" /> 

11:  </Grid.RowDefinitions> 

12:  

13:  <data:DataGrid x:Name="dgBLog" Grid.Row="0" /> <!-- for some reason it did not let me define a row and stick a dataGrid in it--> 

14:  <TextBox x:Name="lblStatus" Text="Starting" Grid.Row="1" /> <!-- used to show debug/status information --> 

15:   

16:  </Grid> 

17:  

18: </UserControl> 

[/code]
 
 
Then here's the Page.xaml.cs

namespace SilverlightApplication1

{

public partial class Page : UserControl

{

public Page()

{

InitializeComponent();

Loaded += new RoutedEventHandler(Page_Loaded);

}

void Page_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

ServiceReference1.ServiceHomeqClient webService = new ServiceReference1.ServiceHomeqClient();

lblStatus.Text = "Loaded";

webService.BLogCountCompleted += new EventHandler<SilverlightApplication1.ServiceReference1.BLogCountCompletedEventArgs>(webService_BLogCountCompleted);

webService.BLogCountAsync();

webService.getErrorsCompleted += new EventHandler<SilverlightApplication1.ServiceReference1.getErrorsCompletedEventArgs>(webService_getErrorsCompleted);

webService.getErrorsAsync();

}

void webService_getErrorsCompleted(object sender, SilverlightApplication1.ServiceReference1.getErrorsCompletedEventArgs e)

{

this.dgBLog.ItemsSource = e.Result;

DisplayDiag();

}

void DisplayDiag()

{

var diag = new System.Text.StringBuilder();

diag.AppendLine("Finished retrieval");

this.lblStatus.Text = diag.ToString();

}

}

}

 
Here's the service code that feeds silverlight from a seperate asp.net project. It makes use of a Linq-to-sql class lqHomeQ.

using System;

using System.Linq;

using System.Runtime.Serialization;

using System.ServiceModel;

using System.ServiceModel.Activation;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Text;

namespace SilverlightApplication1.Web

{

[ServiceContract(Namespace = "")]

[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]

public class ServiceHomeq

{

lqHomeQDataContext db = new lqHomeQDataContext();

[OperationContract]

public void DoWork()

{

// Add your operation implementation here

return;

}

[OperationContract]

int BLogCount()

{

return db.bLogs.Count();

}

[OperationContract]

IEnumerable<bLog> getTodaysBLog()

{

//return db.bLogs.Where(row => row.dt.Date == DateTime.Today).ToList(); // table is larger than I'd like for this method

var result = from b in db.bLogs.Take(2)

select b;

return result.ToList();

}

[OperationContract]

IEnumerable<rejMtError> getErrors()

{

var result = db.rejMtErrors;

return result.ToList();

}

// Add more operations here and mark them with [OperationContract]

}

}
