I have a view on another system (Permits), that I want to query based on the selected Parcel. Do I have to setup a relationship class in ArcGIS Server or is there another way?
Yes. It is better to create the WCF service as regular .NET class library (.dll); then create a standard web site of type "Web Service" to deploy the .dll. This way you get all the power of .NET that Silverlight lacks. I have done it already and works great.
My scenario may be somewhat different from yours or any other. I have my Silverlight application sitting on the Cloud server, getting all map services from the ArcGIS Server on the Cloud as well. My Silverlight application connects to non-GIS servers (standard MSSQL servers) outside the Cloud to retrieve dynamic data (always changing information [massive water meter readings that change every 2 to 4 hours]). Static information (meter id, address, etc.) comes from the ArcGIS Server in the Cloud, but other dynamic attributes are retrieved from those other servers outside the Cloud.
I can save and open files (somehting very unsual in Silverlight with the browser option on), for my WCF service does it all.
I can share some code and the .dll if anyone needs it.

Dear Hugo, We are using silverlight. we need to join a table from oracle with map service on the fly. I think you code will be very helpful to us. Could you please send your code to me. My email address is ahasan@cegisbd.com.
