Dou you have a design pattern ready to use RAD Telerik Silverlight With Azure?
How to accomplish a binding from Silverlight to the asp.net mid tier and then straight forward to Azure Data storage.

Is there a best practice for it?

Hi Jos,

We have not tested our SL3 controls with Windows azure. After the official q2 we will start building the official version of our controls for SL3.

We have a nice video overview about how to integrate the ASP.NET Ajax controls with Azure. Check it out here:
http://telerikwatch.com/2009/04/telerik-radcontrols-running-on-azure.html

Can you give us more details on your setup. Are you going to use the RIA Services, or are you looking for some client - side binding between your Silverlight application and an existing ASP.NET application?

Best wishes,

Hi Valentin,

Yes I'm using Ria Services to accomplish data binding with my mid-tier residing on the azure web-role.

But Iā€™m still in research stage. I have some difficulties to bind the mid-tier to the Azure entities that uses the Azure storage SDS.

 

SL3 ā€“ Ria Services ā€“ Azure Entities ā€“ Storage SDS.

 

My goal is to get my commercial web application ready on Jan 1st.

Regards,

Jos

Hi Jos;

I think once RIA begins to use ADO.Net Data Services (Astoria) after July release, you'll have a better chance to connect to Azure Data Storage. Telerik Components are client side which don't have any direct connections with Azure DS.
As of the next PDC, you will more luck with RIA and Astoria.

Note: I had thought about using Asure Ds now, but there are too many loose ends right now (Astoria for Azure, RIA, Auzure DS) to put production code on. I think once Azure is RTM, it will make sense to go live production.
