It has many data annotations for RIA validation, such as [Required]. I am following this tutorial to set up the REST service for access from SL. It wants there to be a class in ...
I've been working my way through this tutorial. I got stuck when it asked me to make a class that inherits from TableStorageDataServiceContext. I can't seem to find the .dll or namespace or whatever. DataServiceContext works fine. That tutorial is a bit old. Has the class been moved or no longer exists or something? ...
Hi, I just started playing with the Azure Library for Lucene.NET (http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/AzureDirectory). Until now, I was using my own custom code for writing lucene indexes on the azure blob. So, I was copying the blob to localstorage of the azure web/worker role and reading/writing docs to the index. I was using my custom loc...

Hi Azure, probably ASP.NET Webforms. We're building a management interface for about 8 tables. Usual CRUD :-) 2 backend users, and doesn't need to look flash. We'd like to use Mindscape's LightSpeed as the ORM tool Question: Is Dynamic Data worth pursuing? (Mindscape have a connector to DD). We've also got the Telerik Suite which...
I have a Silverlight 4 app that is hosted in an ASP Azure web role. The web role exposes a WCF service. (All this is in the same Visual Studio solution.)
