I’m developing a c# win app using RadGrid. I would preferably like to be able to use the grid property builder in design time to configure columns, dropdowns etc. On the other hand I would like to work with business objects (using EntitySpaces or similar) to access the data in SQL Server and later implement remoting or similar technologies to migrate to a true n-tier client server app. Anyone having some suggestion regarding an architecture that makes it quick and easy to build the app using RadGrids, but enough ‘future safe’ and object oriented to work in a business application?

Could Microsoft entity framework and Linq to Objects be the solution?


Regards,

Erik

Hi,

I prefer to work at design time so I went with the plain old typed datasets.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us. I suggest the same -- we do support typed data sets (including design time) and linq at the moment, but we do not support Entity Framework in full, so I would not suggest using it.

Do not hesitate to write us back if you have further questions.
