Any update to support for Silverlight and ADO.NET Data Services?

Brian

Silverlight was not and probably never will be a target platform, please use DTO's.

ADO.NET data services... we planned to have support for that, however we in general see no real demand for such support, and we therefore decided to put the effort in v3 instead

(edit: rephrased)

I am not a developer, but responsible for the development team. It is a pity to read that Silverlight will not be supported. We choose Silverlight for our new developments because we think that using Silverlight for RIA we dont need a Window or a WPF application any more. Only 1 code base to support instead of 2 (Windows/WPF and browser apps) I believe that MS will put more functionality in SL to support their RIA and SaaS solutions. I think that RIA will be next UI for Inter enabled applications. I hope that software vendors will jump in this SL development opportunity...

Support for silverlight means: there are generated entity classes which are usable in silverlight. that's not going to happen.

What you can do is create DTO classes (with the various templates available in several threads on this forum) and return those from a webservice, fill them with normal llblgen pro code (e.g. through projections).

Hi,

here is a business framework which allows to work with Silverlight: CSLA for Silverlight http://www.lhotka.net/cslalight/Default.aspx

It comes without pre-defined data access so it's possible to use LLBLGEN as the data access layer for it.

Hope it helps, Patrick

Hi,

Have you guys changed your mind about silverlight support?

i'm posting here because this thread is a year old..

no, we haven't. It's really not that useful to proceed with porting our code to silverlight as silverlight's runtime is very limited. So instead, go for DTOs.

OK thank you.
