.NET Ramblings - Brian Noyes' Blog:- Part 6 of my series on WCF RIA Services is now live here:

.NET Ramblings - Brian Noyes' Blog:- Yesterday I was getting frustrated wading through the dozens of Silverlight controls in my toolbox trying to spot one I needed, and it occurred to me that there “ought to be an add-in to search the toolbox”. Just to make sure I wasn’t missing something, I contacted Karl Shifflett from the Cider team, who has written some awesome extensions to Cider and the XAML editor himself.

.NET Ramblings - Brian Noyes' Blog:- From October 11-15 I’ll be conducting a WCF Master Class in Minneapolis. This class covers the breadth and depth of WCF all in one week. You can find the course information here.

.NET Ramblings - Brian Noyes' Blog:- Part 5 of my 10 part series on WCF RIA Services is now up on The Silverlight Show at http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/WCF-RIA-Services-Part-5-Metadata-and-Shared-Classes.aspx. In this article, I explain the role and use of metadata classes to add attributes and functionality to existing entity classes that you cannot easily modify directly, such as the properties on an Entity Framework entity. Additionally, I show how you can define chunks of shared code on the server side and how they become available client side through the RIA Services code generation.
