Is it possible to link a silverlight control to a database? If so, could
someone show me how to do that in Expression Blend? I just want a combo box
to pull in a field from a database.

Not in Silverlight, data must reside on a server. You can use WCF or
WCF RAI Services to get the data.

You can not directly link any silverlight application to a database. You have
to have a data access component / layer on the server which hosts the
silverlight application. Then you can either use the WCF services / .NET RIA
Services on the server which acts as a bridge between the silverlight
application and the database.
