Hi,
we would like to switch our DataGrid loading mechanism to use the QueryableDataServiceCollectionView (on top of DataServiceContext), to mainly take advantage of paging, maybe filtering.
However due to some rich functionality in the grid, we are wrapping each 'RowModel' (record) with a 'RowViewModel', supporting the functionality in the grid. So the collection we currently bind the DataGrid.ItemsSource is of type IEnumerable<RowViewModel> rather than IEnumerable<RowModel>. This is done simply by running something like PageViewModel.GridItemsSource = data.Select(m => new RowViewModel(m));
The question is how to achieve the same result with QueryableDataServiceCollectionView? The records loaded will obviously be of type RowModel, however we would like to 'convert' them to 'RowViewModel' instances and bind those to the grid.
Any ideas?
