VB.Net Silverlight 5 SQL Entities Searching

Question

Im making a silverlight 5 application and im using RIA WCS services to connect to sql, i can add data,delete data, edit data, and get all data, but the problem is that i need to retrieve a specific record not the whole entity, when i try the following code just nothing happens:

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Button1.Click ' InitializeComponent() objctx = New BanksDomainContext Dim itemType = Branch_NameComboBox.SelectedItem.GetType Dim pi = itemType.GetProperty(Branch_NameComboBox.DisplayMemberPath) Dim cbi = pi.GetValue(Branch_NameComboBox.SelectedItem, Nothing).ToString() Dim BranchName As String = cbi

    '   Dim query As EntityQuery(Of Branches) = objctx.GetBranchesDetailsQuery(BranchName)

    '  Dim loadOp As LoadOperation(Of Branches) = Me.objctx.Load(query)
    '  DataGrid1.ItemsSource = loadOp.Entities
    '  objctx.Load(query, LoadData, Nothing)

    Dim loadOp = Me.objctx.Load(Me.objctx.GetBranchesDetailsQuery(BranchName))


    LoadData(loadOp)


End Sub
Private Sub LoadData(lo As LoadOperation)

    For Each br As Branches In lo.Entities

        AddressTextBlock.Text = br.Address
        CoordinatesTextBlock.Text = br.Coordinates
        ManagerTextBlock.Text = br.Manager
        PhoneTextBlock.Text = br.Phone
        FaxTextBlock.Text = br.Fax        
Next

End Sub

can someone guide me on how to do it?

The following is the solution to load text boxes from SQL records by selecting the search term from a list box:

Private Sub Branch_NameComboBox_SelectionChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.Controls.SelectionChangedEventArgs) Handles Branch_NameComboBox.SelectionChanged
    m_PushpinLayer.Children.Clear()
    objctx = New BanksDomain
    Dim itemType = Branch_NameComboBox.SelectedItem.[GetType]()
    Dim pi = itemType.GetProperty(Branch_NameComboBox.DisplayMemberPath)
    Dim cbi = pi.GetValue(Branch_NameComboBox.SelectedItem, Nothing).ToString()
    Dim BranchName As String = cbi
    Dim itemType2 = NameComboBox.SelectedItem.[GetType]()
    Dim pi2 = itemType2.GetProperty(NameComboBox.DisplayMemberPath)
    Dim cbi2 = pi2.GetValue(NameComboBox.SelectedItem, Nothing).ToString()
    Dim BankName As String = cbi2
    Dim bb As EntityQuery(Of Branches) = From b In objctx.GetBranchesDetailsQuery(BranchName) Where b.Bank = BankName Select b



    Dim res As LoadOperation(Of Branches) = objctx.Load(bb, New Action(Of LoadOperation(Of Branches))(AddressOf GetBeansCompleted), True)

End Sub
Private Sub GetBeansCompleted(args As LoadOperation(Of Branches))


    For Each bc As Branches In args.Entities
        ' 
        Dim Latitude As Double = bc.Lat
        Dim Longitude As Double = bc.Lon

        Dim CoO As Location = New Location

        CoO.Latitude = Decimal.Parse(Latitude)
        CoO.Longitude = Decimal.Parse(Longitude)

        Dim BName As String = bc.Branch_Name.ToString
        Dim MKColor As Color = GetThisColor(bc.MapKeyColor.ToString)




        AddPushPin(BName, CoO, MKColor)

        AddressTextBlock.Text = (bc.Address.ToString)
        LatTextBlock.Text = (Decimal.Parse(Latitude))
        LonTextBlock.Text = (Convert.ToDecimal(Longitude))
        ManagerTextBlock.Text = (bc.Manager.ToString)
        PhoneTextBlock.Text = (bc.Phone.ToString)
        FaxTextBlock.Text = (bc.Fax.ToString)



    Next


End Sub
