LIDNUG: Silverlight Ready for Business and .NET RIA Services Presentation – Demo Posted

  • Article

I had a great time at the LinkedIn Users’ Group meeting… the only down side is that I missed the really bad pizza’s that most User’s Groups offer ;-) 

Here is the demo (and demo steps) I did…  Download.

I’ll post the recording when it gets uploaded as well.

A couple of follow-ups:

  • There was a question about creating your own DomainService for a custom DAL… I’d recommend checking out my DataSet and WCF examples as well as the full source code for the LinqToSqlDomainService. 
  • Someone asked about offline: Check out Nikhil’s Mix talk.. he covers offline there and printing!  I think he will be updating those demos to current bits next week.
  • For the question about custom auth support… check out my recent blog post on how I create a simple custom auth provider.
  • Someone asked about navigation to dynamically loaded pages.. check out David Poll’s blog
  • Someone asked about doing the Data validation without RIA Services on the server… check out my post
  • There was a question about data validation without using the validation custom attributes.  We have great example of that with the Xml Provider

What questions did a miss??

Enjoy!

    Brad, Here's a question that I can't seem answered (officially from your team) on the forums: Are you guys planning on supporting entity inheritance in RIA Services for RTW?  It seems like such an important requirement for application development that it would be silly to launch a product that doesn't support it. We've been complaining on the forums for a while now about it but we haven't heard anything from the team and it would be great to get some official feedback/commentary on this topic. Love your posts... at the risk of blasphemy, it looks like you're starting to take over Mr. Guthrie's spot. :) Thanks for any insight you can provide, Michael

    MichaelD - Yes, we see inhertance as very important...  Next weeek we will be reviewing a design for this... The big thing we have to work out is a fairly large test cost for it...  Any volunteers to help us test it? ;-)

    Ha, I think most of the regular visitors to the RIA Services forum would be willing to help test it.
