I have been reading up on the .Net RIA Services that Microsoft is developing for use between Asp.Net and Silverlight applications, and it looks quite nice. I am curious about how it handles keeping track of authentication: How does the Silverlight client keep track of who is logged in, and when they have timed out? And it shouldn't ke...
I have discovered that when I install .NET RIA Services (July preview) it breaks all of my projects that were created with Michael Sync's Silverlight MVVM toolkit. This MVVM toolkit includes a Visual Studio project template which is now failing to build. Here is the message I get: The project file "..\SilverlightModelViewApplication.W...
I have a Product object with a property that is a collection of type Workflows. In my "GetProducts" method on the domaincontext object I have set a breakpoint at the return statement to see if the workflows collection is filled. It is. On the client side I check Context.Products[0].Workflows in another breakpoint and I see 0 results. ...

My EF model was generated from my SQL Server database. I then generated a DomainService for RIAServices against the EF model. One of the entities is called "EntryCategories". The DomainService created this method: public IQueryable<EntryCategories> GetEntryCategoriesSet() { return this.Context.EntryCategoriesSet; } Since my user i...
Only at runtime do I know what to display in my Silverlight Grid control. The control will pull from a RIA Services DomainServices source. In the middle tier, I have to transform an EF database source into a shape consumable by the Grid but also made up of types that RIA Services support. Only at that point do I know how many columns and...

I have a problem when using LINQ to set a where clause on a query in a domain service call. If I don't set a where clause it works just fine and I get my result back in my completed event (I have only implemented the eventhandler for the completed event to demonstrate my issue here). LoadOperation<User> load = _Context.Load(_Context...

Following Nikhil's example, my View should derive from the Silverlight.FX Window class. What's the best approach to making a Window that also supports the Page functionality or is there something ...

Hi, I have a C#.NET Silverlight 3.0 client running RIA Services with an EF model. I'm trying to set up an advanced search system on the client such that the user can say, I want field (property) "Foo1" to have value "Bar1," etc.. . I'd like to use a flexible, dynamic approach similar to this one. The problem is I can't pass IQueryable ...

In the model metadata I've included several Display Name properties that I'd like to use when referring to the model on the client-side (in TextBoxes, etc.. .)
