OpenAccess WCF RIA Services

[David]

I am using OA with WCF RIA Services / Silverlight and need some direction.

I have a object PLAN which has a one-to-many association with another object NOTE. I have created a meta file for PLAN so that the association is accessible i.e. PLAN.NOTES and it works fine, the NOTES is represented as a ILIST<NOTE>. However, if I remove a NOTE from the PLAN and then submit changes for the context OA does not remove the relevant note row from the database.

Should it ? or am I missing something fundamental???

Thanks

Hi David,

 This is supported by OpenAccess itself however currently it is not supported by our domain model. The option you are looking for is called delete orphans and will soon be available with the domain model. Until then I am afraid that you will have to delete the note instance from the context.
I am sorry for the inconvenience this might be causing you.

Can I use OpenAccess itself with RIA Services, by that I mean can a create a Telerik OpenAccess DomainService on top of a reverse mapped model or do I have to use a Telerik Open Access Domain Model when working with RIA Services.

I have tried doing this but when I go to the DataContext drop-down there is nothing to select.

If this is possible can you point me to any examples?

Hi David,

 Our RIA services implementation is targeted at working with our domain model. This is why you are unable to see anything else but domain model contexts and rlinq files in the wizards dropdown.
Will it be a huge overhead for you to account for deleting a child from the context itself given the fact that the delete orphans option is missing?
