Release

For the upcoming Q1 2010 we will mostly work on improving and further polishing our current offering. We will work in several major directions – Performance improvements, VS 2010/Blend Design-time support improvements, Themes and Animations improvements, new Documentation, Assemblies’ size optimizations, Silverlight 4 builds.

Q2 and Q3 releases brought up support for commands usable in a similar way as the commanding mechanism from WPF. In a few points the Commanding mechanism provides several classes: RoutedCommand and RoutedUICommand – ICommand implementations, the second has a Text property ICommandSource – once an object implement it, it knows how to invoke a command, i.e. it receives Command, CommandParameter and CommandTarget properties.

There are tons of great new features like projections and my favorite, an inline row count. As I said on my blog yesterday, you have to alert Astoria that you want to use the new V2 features, by default Astoria 2.0 runs in Astoria 1.0 mode. (For backwards compatibility.) Telerik has enhanced the Data Services Wizard to support Astoria 2.0 (officially the “Data Services update for .NET 3.5 SP1” but I digress….) Now if you have the updated Data Services DLLs on your machine, you will have the option to create a...
