    Using Telerik’s new LINQ implementation with WCF RIA Services Part II: Query Methods

    In my last blog post, I showed how Telerik’s new LINQ implementation works with WCF RIA Services. In that post I built a Domain Model from the Northwind database as well as a RIA Services Domain Service. I then showed the drag and drop features of RIA Services and created a simple Silverlight application with no code. Today we are going to take that example one step further by creating some custom server side Query Methods. A query method is just a facility to query a data source. In RIA Services, you define a query method explicitly so it can be used on the client. This is pretty straight forward...

    Using Telerik’s new LINQ Implementation Part I: Automatic Styles

    Last week Telerik released a service pack for OpenAccess Q1. The service pack fixes a few issues with Telerik’s new LINQ implementation working under Visual Studio 2010. In addition, the service pack shipped the Data Services Wizard; the Data Service Wizard is no longer a separate install. You can use the Data Service Wizard with traditional OpenAccess classes or the new LINQ implementation. Today I will show show you a new feature of the wizard: automatically creating a styled Silverlight application from your domain model. Future blog posts will show how to use RIA Services as well as SQL Azure. To get started open up Visual Studio 2010 and create...
