Did you set a page size for the entity set you want to page? Without doing that, SkipCount and TopCount won't be enabled. It's a bug that needs to be fixed.

As far as the v3 part, that is because I was using the CTP version of WCF Data Services in the demo, while the toolkit code on Codeplex isn't.

Sorry to hear you're having some issues. First off: the toolkit assemblies that are publically available are built against .NET 4. They can be used with the new CTP (as I did at MIX), but you'd have to download the source from Codeplex and rebuild them against those assemblies. I didn't actually use any OData v3 features in the session, so my use of the CTP was pretty superflous.

The 500 error you're getting is a generic WCF error and could be from anything, and it's vague nature isn't because of the toolkit, that's a behavior of WCF. If you add the following attribute to your service, you should see a better error message:

[ServiceBehavior(IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults=true)]

Feel free to ping me if you continue having issues.

When James asked me to do an episode for the show, I intended on showing a lot more, but I ended up gabbing on forever and he cut me off at 20 minutes or so Smiley Stay tuned for future episodes on producing and consuming OData services.

 

In the meantime, if you want to chat about how you could get started, feel free to ping me at the e-mail I mentioned above.

Yep I do have a W3C Linked Data sticker on my laptop Smiley We're all fans of RDF and what the W3C have done to move the industry towards a Web of data. As you said, the original Astoria prototype did have RDF support. The only reason it was removed, in favor of AtomPub (as the default format), was because of customer feedback. 

 

The idea of supporting RDF is certainly still active, we just want to make sure not to randomize people without having a really good reason for it. If RDF support would be useful for you, I'd love to know. Make sure to shoot any general OData feedback you may have our way as well (joncart at microsoft dot com), as that's always useful.

Out of the box, the validation uses MS AJAX, and if you want to use jQuery validation, there is an implementation of that in the MVC futures project (here). If you have any troubles getting it to work, feel free to e-mail me (joncart at microsoft dot com).

In the video I just simply used the default messages for example.

Basically my main focus of this episode was to highlight the new "single line of code" approach, and then scope it with the context for those that aren't familiar with Dynamic Data at all.

Good news for you: the data annotations are localizable, and you can specify the order in which columns appear without having to worry about the physical order of the properties in the entity classes. Email me (joncart at microsoft dot com) and I'll get you some samples of this.

Just keep in mind that the ScriptManager control in ASP.NET WebForms was the one that was including the ASP.NET AJAX libraries for you, so once you aren't using it, you'll have to include the scripts manually.

If so, the guys over at ADX Studio (http://www.adxstudio.com/) are working on something that handles this very nicely.

You can see a pretty comprehensive list here: http://damieng.com/blog/2009/06/01/linq-to-sql-changes-in-net-40

As far as the Entity Framework being the preferred option for data access moving forward, yes, that is the case.

There is no need to get religious on either approach, it all just comes down to which approach serves the needs of your application the best. Since routing is so extensible, you should have fun building the sitemap you want. There is soooo much more to it then what I showed in this demo since this episode was meant only to show how routing and webforms can work together. General purpose routing has plenty of awesome little features.

I doubt there will be a 10-4 episode on ASP.NET Routing specifically since it isn't a feature in .NET Framework 4.0, but I could throw together some ad-hoc screencasts and plop them on my blog (http://www.lostintangent.com) or C9.

Keep these great questions coming guys, I seriously love the 10-4 community Smiley

That said, I'm a firm believer that a good API is the perfect foundation for layering additional forms of expression (i.e. loading routes from a config file or DB). There are a couple prototypes floating around that pull your route definitions from config that I'd be more than happy to share with you.

As far as new rendering of controls, I'll deifnitely try to fit this in later episodes. Funny enough I actually showed off a very subtle change to the ListView control in this episode but I didn't call it out. You no longer have to have a PlaceHolderTemplate if your ItemTemplate's contents are truly seperate markup (i.e. not <li>'s within a <ul> for instance).

Feel free to email me (joncart at microsoft dot com) and I can share some additional info in the meantine.

Firstly, it's important to point out that almost that entire demo could have been done imperatively, without adding anything to the HTML unneccesarily. The declarative command bubbling (sys:command) is a feature I can choose to use, but I can achieve the exact same thing strictly in JavaScript. The same goes for the conditional attributes I used (class:odd).

While ASP.NET AJAX provides a lot of functionality in terms of working with it declaratively (as some folks like), it was developed with the mindset of using it completely unobtrusively. That said, the data templates are somewhat of a gray area. Defining the template is arguably much easier (for some) to do in HTML as opposed to within JavaScript (as other libraries do). That said, it does impose a foreign component to the HTML that isn't actually valid content (i.e. the binding expressions).

If you don't like the approach of defining your templates and bindings within the markup, you can still do that in JavaScript as well. The creation of the DataView class simply requires an element that it can bind to and repeat, so there is no reason why that element couldn't be constructed using DOM methods imperatively, as opposed to retreiving it from the actual DOM as I did in the demo.

I'll put together a demo that does this and post it later.
