How to get RIA services with forward mapping project

Hi,
we use OpenAccess in a straight forward manner. Because our project is older than the domain model introducing we are coding our class structures by hand. We use the IObjectScope for managing the data operations and have no problems in WinForm and WebForm.
Now we want to use the domain services as an backend for a silverlight project. I find no example how to use the domain services in connection with the IObjectScope. Is there any example or documentation?
Thanks
Christian

Hi Christian,

Currently we are working on the forward mapping in the domain model. This feature will be available in the Q2 release. So starting from Q2 release (scheduled in a couple of days), you will be able to use forward mapping with Ria Services.

You can find interesting also the following blog posts“WCF RIA Applications with Telerik OpenAccess ORM Part I: The Basics” and “WCF RIA Applications with Telerik OpenAccess ORM Part II: CUD Operations and Validation” which explain how to use Telerik OpenAccess ORM with RIA Services.

Hope that helps. If any other questions arise please contact us back.

All the best,

HI,
the new version (Q3 / 2010) contains no wizard to change over a forward model in the designer. How can I build with a classic forward model an RIA service model?
For a reference I would be grateful.

Hi Christian,

 Our RIA provider was designed to work with our domain model. I am afraid that using it with an object scope is not possible. We do plan to provide a converter to our domain model for forward mapped projects created using our old wizards. The converter should be available with SP1 for our Q3 release.
I am sorry for any inconvenience this might be causing you.

Best wishes,
Petar
