OK, I am asking this here because it is more general architecture based than language specific based...

I have a design I am working on that involves a Silverlight wizard style interface on a web form that makes calls out to a series of web services hosted in a windows service application.

I have a design decision to make…

The UI is a type of wizard style, multiple screens for each area of the process, and the process can be based upon some specific HW that is installed on the client machine that the website is viewed on. The main page makes a service call to the hosted application to get a device capabilities list and from there it knows what HW is available and then makes more service calls to talk to the HW and get a response back. All this because I can’t use an out of bowser Silverlight application to talk to the HW. Not a big deal but it poses a question for me…

My original thought was to use a single Webservice method for the interface, pass in a series of commands and arguments formed as general Strings and KeyValuePairs, do some processing and then the web method returns a general set of KeyValuePairs again as the process results.

In one way this sounds good for me because it allows me to make changes as I need to add functionality latter on, keep the older string values and just add new ones as I need without altering the code interface at all. It takes away some nice Intellisense in the editor but in the long run I was thinking that the flexibility was worth it.

One other way I was considering was just biting the bullet and create a separate generic web method for each major functional part and then use the ability in the app.config file to select and load satellite assemblies dynamically based upon the requested version of the HW/Component/etc… Keeps the code a bit cleaner, allows for more use of Intellisense as I edit code and maybe even offers a bit more flexibility to add new devices, but places a heavier load on the use of the app.config file than I was looking for.

Anyone here have a personal preference or some feedback about these methods, or maybe a third alternative that I had not considered yet?
