by John Papa via JohnPapa.net on 8/19/2010 4:14:00 PM

On this episode of Silverlight TV, Dinesh Kulkarni shares his top tips for creating streamlined and performant WCF RIA Services applications. He walks through some key decision points while creating domain services (server side) for a Silverlight and RIA Services application. Among the tips Dinesh discusses are some of the benefits of creating the minimal number of entities, operations, and amount of data required for your application. He also discusses how to connect RIA Services to:

  1. Entity Framework
  2. LINQ to SQL
  3. nHibernate
  4. Your own custom business objects
Other topics Dinesh walks step-by-step through include:
  • hooking RIA Services up to your own POCO classes
  • adding role-based authorization
  • how to determine what objects will be exposed by RIA Services to the client
  • adding validation
  • identifying keys and associations for entities
  • indicating when to return object graphs
  • how to use the Composite attribute to bundle objects graphs
This is a great deep dive by one of the masterminds behind WCF RIA Services.
