Free SilverlightShow Webinar:
Be The Master of Your Domain With WCF RIA POCO Domain Services
This webinar has been delivered on Sepember 28 by Brian Noyes
WCF RIA Services makes it simple to query and update data from your Silverlight application, as well as invoke other functionality on the server side. But most examples show using it with the built-in support for directly querying Entity Framework domain models where the entity classes are code generated for you.
For many real world apps, you will need more control of your entity classes and will want to go with the POCO (Plain Old CLR Object) approach that lets you get your data from anywhere, define your entities yourself, and have other base classes and patterns to those entities. To support this, you have to do a few specific things in defining your entities and your domain service that you will learn all about in this session.
You will see how you can mix WCF RIA Services with the new Code First features of Entity Framework 4, or just get your data from somewhere else such as flat files, but still benefit from the power of RIA Services for the client side.
The live session includes a short Q&A part at the end. A recording of this session will be emailed to all registrants.
