RoR-like dynamism in Silverlight?

Hi,

Ruby on Rails provides a concept called ActiveRecord which generates a
class based on the schema of a table in the database. It further
provides a feature called Scaffolding which generates web forms for
CRUD operations of the entity.

We would like to have basic Silverlight web forms created based on the
fields in the tables. If the fields change, the form should change so
that the next time someone accesses it, the new fields are seen.
Is there any similar framework for Silverlight?

I have read about RIA and EDM. They seem to manage the business logic
and data access respectively. I need to link them with the
presentation tier.

Thanks,
Yash

I believe Microsoft's Entity Framework is what you want to evaluate using
the MVC architecture. I think PRISM is used to develop the XAML scaffolding
for Silverlight. Dig around http://asp.net to ask more questions and perhaps
evaluate this overivew
