Binding WPF Controls to an Entity Data Model | kmcgrath

Seems too scripted and not natural. Video should have been just one person presenting.

Thanks for the feedback. My questions were a bit scripted -- intended to help with the flow of the video; I'm really just there to video tape the presentation. Maybe in future videos, I'll just do the introductions and let the presenter go on with the presentation Smiley .

Great tutorial! Thank you

I followed along till Creating Data-Bound Controls section, when I click on the Show Data Source, Data Source window is NOT showing up the AdventureWorksLTEntities item. What am I missing? Please help, I am new to Data Model

Hi, cadprogrammer,

Which version of Visual Studio are you using? The Data Sources Window support for EDM is recently enabled in Visual Studio 2010 Beta1.

I missed that it was Studio 2010 too, I was getting excited by the possibility of putting it to use until then!

Good walkthrough though, cheers.

This type of demo really doesn't help people understand the Model-View-ViewModel pattern which, from my understanding, is the future of WPF development. This feels very much like a WinForms demo.

That's a good video but not so parctical to real world scenario.

Since most of current development is tier based the last thing the programmer wants to see is how the DAL getting used directly from within the GUI. how do I get XAML to bind to my BL output objects in that same easy way is what I miss here.

Thanks for the video. I was wondering how to detect changes. Say you only want to enable the save-button when something has been changed. How would you do that?
