EntitySpaces on Silverlight 2: Part One

by Jon 5/4/2008 11:25:00 AM

I managed to get EntitySpaces running on Silverlight over WCF client proxies. I documented the steps as a tutorial and Mike Griffin at EntitySpaces posted it up on the EntitySpaces blog.

Demo here: http://developer.entityspaces.net/ES2008/Demos/Silverlight/PartOne/

I retained my Word doc so I can retain my personal preference of formatting, fix typos, and add a few annotations and disclaimers here and there like, "So far these steps don’t lend themselves very well to an offline development workflow. Finding a more appropriate workflow pattern, though, is beyond the scope of this initiative. (Good luck.)" We can thank Microsoft for making WCF on IIS 7 such a pain in the behind for binding service endpoints, without any code generation or GUIfication. But enough whining, client-side business objects in Silverlight is a hawt approach to LOB RIAs.

Part two will be short 'n sweet but much more focused on actually working with EntitySpaces. This part didn't give ES justice...
