    digg_url = "http://www.stephenforte.net/PermaLink,guid,9a2c41de-b873-4acb-a680-78a2f130a03d.aspx";digg_title = "Using ADO.NET Data Services with Telerik OpenAccess and the WCF Wizard";digg_bgcolor = "#FFFFFF";digg_skin = "normal";digg_url = undefined;digg_title = undefined;digg_bgcolor = undefined;digg_skin = undefined; I have been a big fan of using the RESTful ADO.NET Data Services (aka Astoria).

The wizard creates some of the boring WCF code for you automatically. You can create endpoints for WCF, Astoria, REST collection and ATOM Pub services. Our first demo used WCF, later we will show you the other services. This is what we did: Created a data access layer automatically using OpenAccess Created a WCF Service automatically using the wizard Created a Silverlight 3.0 application that used WCF to databind the Customers table to a datagrid, enabling editing automatically Here is a video by Peter Bahaa (aka Pedro), .NET ninja in training, using the wizard with the...
