Did you solve it? Otherwise I will work on it. Its simple... write a webservice/WCF to get data using SQLDataAdapter and return that data through serialized class. Call the WebService or WCF service from Silverlight app using asynchronous method. That's it.

Silverlight can get data from web service and WCF Service asynchronously. So you need to return collection from web service/WCF and bind it to silverlight control. You can use any providers in web service/WCF to get the data from database. Thanks.....

This article may help you: http://www.longhorncorner.com/UploadFile/nipuntomar/4083/Default.aspx But unlike what you think binding is easier using LINQ. However instead of using LINQ to SQL you can use Entity Framework and LINQ to Entities.
