Auto-generated Silverlight DataForm versus Telerik RadDataForm using RIA with RadDomainDataSource

[Robert]

Please see the attached image which demonstrates some radical differences in the fields displayed in the autogeneration of a Silverlight DataForm (right side of the image) versus that of a RadDataForm (left side of the image) with the CurrentItem set to the same RadDomainDataSource over the same domain data service and metadata.

The main questions are:

• How do you suppress the entity data that is not part of the metadata from being auto-generated, and,
• Why doesn't the Telerik RadDataForm handle the metadata in the same way as the Silverlight DataForm?

Thank you,

Robert Burger

Hi Robert,

Can you please  check the version of the Telerik dlls you are using . I believe we have addressed such problems with our latest versions.

In case you use older ones - please upgrade to to the latest ( e.g. the latest internal build) .

In case this does not help , please let me know so I can arrange a fast fix  for you .
