Long story short, learned the hard way today that Windows Phone cannot connect directly to a remote database. Instead you have to access the database through a webservice, which is a pain in the butt. The reasons (security & performance) make sense in a dev. context, but adds a bunch of overhead to prototyping.
Spent today working a bit more on my scientist controller and then dealing with this hassle. Have a webservice server set up, tomorrow will figure out how to use it.
