Adhoc stored procs on silverlight application

Hi,

I have a simple requirement to be implemented on a silverlight app. I want to list down all the stored procs in a drop down and view its output on a grid. I am currently having a WCF service where I have drag dropped all the stored procs I want to view and generated the classes on a .dbml file. This works for me at the moment. However, if I have a new stored proc, I am forced to generate the class and update the service again.

Is there a way to view the results of the stored proc without updating the service everytime? I was thinking of using DataContext.ExecuteCommand Method but not sure if there is a much better way to do this.

Updating the service everytime is definitely not the recommended way.

I would recommend you change your strategy to get all the stored procedures. Write a query to get all the stored procedures. Let your WCF service return this list by querying the database.

Then let Silverlight display this list in a combo.

From dudehari - "The main issue I am facing is not with the querying of sps in the database. Each of these sps have different auto generated output resultset. I wanted to handle this varied result sets from the wcf service in a generic way."
