[RIA Services] How to force validation on my entities (and just the validation !)

published 944 days, 13 hours, 53 minutes ago posted by

jmix90 946 days, 17 minutes ago

RIA services solves for you a lot of problems and one of them is to add validations rules on the entities both on the client and on the server side. These differents rules are checked when you submit the changes from the client to the server or when you call “EndEdit” on the entities. But there is times when you want to leverage the validation without submit the changes or commit your object modification (in a IEditableObject way of talking). In this post we will discover how to do just this. (more)

They’ve done a great job providing a spectrum of beginner to advanced topics on Silverlight development.At MIX10 I was talking with one of the brains behind the site (and Silverlight MVP), Emil Stoychev, one one of the ways they had been displaying book recommendations on their site. It was a bookshelf view that I thought was cool and I wanted to use it for my own book recommendation list on my blog. (more)

Earlier I had posted about the theme pack for the Silverlight Business Application and amongst them was the Cosmopolitan template. The cosmopolitan theme is inspired by the Metro theme which was first seen in the the Zune Client.Since then, there have been many variations of the Metro theme, Windows Phone 7, Metrotwit, the Cosmopolitan theme and many more. They are all inspired by the Metro theme. Recently, Nikoka pointed out one of the key differences between the Zune client and the Cosmopolitan theme... (more)

The feedback from the Silverlight 4 application themes released and the latest in process have been overwhelmingly toward the positive. We appreciate the feedback and hopefully you appreciate the transparency in the process. As a developer I want my fellow brethren to appreciate good design and use it whenever possible … even as a default if you don’t have designers on board. In the initial release we had some issues getting the RIA Services ones out at the same time but we’ve got those finished now for... (more)

I think it is important to understand the goals as well here so that you don’t wonder hey, we need more pixel-shader-gradient-creating-twhirly-things-with-datatype-binding-and-cascading-selector-path-listboxes in themes!!! In this effort we tasked the designers to build upon the platform of the previous themes and gave them these goals: * Should be ‘brandable’ * Work with navigation-style Silverlight applications * Easily tweakable * Will be used most likely by developers with little customization * Pr...

This morning we published the final release of the Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio and WCF RIA Services. In April, when Silverlight 4 was released, the tools were still in “RC” status. Today, they are no longer and are officially released. There is no new update to Silverlight itself, but these tools are the final bits of this version. (more)

The offers keep coming in! Another one of our key partners for testing XAP signing for trusted applications was Thawte. Their group helped provide us with valid certificates to verify their process and signing worked as expected (and verified) for Silverlight 4. Today I just got an email from their marketing department that they would like to offer Silverlight developers a discount on Thawte code-signing certificates to $89 for a 1-year…about 70% off their current rate. That’s pretty amazing of them ... (more)

Silverlight 4 enables Authorization header modification - Tim Heuer

published 1122 days, 3 hours, 3 minutes ago posted by

jantu 1124 days, 22 minutes ago

A little bit of hidden gem in the Silverlight 4 release is the ability to modify the Authorization header in network calls. For most, the sheer ability to leverage network credentials in the networking stack will be enough. But there are times when you may be working with an API that requires something other than basic authentication, but uses the Authorization HTTP header. (more)

jantu 1142 days, 1 hour, 18 minutes ago

You forgot that your service reference had your local URI endpoint in there and when you moved it to staging and/or production it failed. You start cursing Microsoft and the Silverlight team and add to the threads in the forums or perhaps initiate a new wishlist item for the team and throw it out on Twitter and encourage votes. It seems this is still a common frustration and people are trying to solve it in different ways. I’m going to throw out what is my preferred mechanism and add some additional ti... (more)

New hard drive means re-install everything - Tim Heuer

I recently found a good deal on a 7200 RPM 500GB latpop drive and decided to upgrade myself to that. I’ve been operating on a 150GB drive for a long time and hadn’t been cleaning up old projects, encodings, etc. so it was running thin on space. This was a cheap upgrade (< $90) so I opted for it. I finally got a moment last evening to pop it in and start the fresh installs of everything. Doing so reminded me of how long this process takes for us geeky people. Luckily I do a backup first using my H... (more)

That is as easy to accomplish as adding an attribute, see line 2 below.... (more)

Installing Silverlight applications without the browser involved - Tim Heuer

One of the features we are introducing in Silverlight 4 is a ‘silent install’ mechanism for out-of-browser applications. Currently every out-of-browser application (trusted or not) starts from an in-browser mechanism.you don’t want to have to tell the user to start on an HTML page first.Now I’m not going to write here about the merits of why you might want to do this other than to point out what I believe to be the 2 prominent scenarios: managed desktop deployment and CD/DVD distribution.

A developer asked me this question and while a simple answer, I thought it would be a good quick tip to share for those who may be in similar situations.The scenario is the classic master-details scenario where perhaps you have a grid of data and when a user selects the row, the details are enabled in a form (or perhaps the child of the element) for editing. Maybe something like this... (more)
