ASP.NET Databinding and jQueryUI

G. Andrew Duthie — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 23:12:00 GMT

In this installment of DevNuggets, Developer Evangelist G. Andrew Duthie (aka DEvHammer) demonstrates how you can easily add fun and function to your ASP.NET-based website using jQueryUI.

This DevNugget is a follow-up to Andrew's introduction to using jQueryUI in ASP.NET and in it you'll see how easy it is to dynamically generate the markup required to build a jQueryUI Accordion widget using an ASP.NET Repeater control bound to an ADO.NET Data Service. Databinding with a Repeater makes it quick and easy to generate clean markup that's tailor-made for integration with jQueryUI.

You can keep track of what's happening with the DEvHammer on his blog, or on Twitter, and find out about upcoming developer and IT Pro events in your area on his site, Community Megaphone.

Consuming data over the web between PHP and .NET with REST and ADO.NET Data Services

Jean-Christophe Cimetiere — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 15:32:00 GMT

Claudio Caldato, Senior Program Manager in the Interoperability Technical Strategy team and Pablo Castro, software architect of ADO.NET Data Services introduce a new project that bridges PHP and .NET: the Toolkit for PHP with ADO.NET Data Services.

The PHP Toolkit is an open source project available on Codeplex at phpdataservices.codeplex.com. The goal is to make it easier for PHP developers to take advantage of the ADO.NET Data Services (ADO.NET Data Services offer a simple way to expose any sort of data in a RESTful way, more details here).

The video starts with a quick introduction and architecture white boarding session, followed by a demo.

Enjoy!

10-4 Episode 27: Server-Driven Paging with ADO.NET Data Services

Jonathan Carter — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 16:59:00 GMT

In this episode of 10-4, we discuss a new feature coming in the next release of ADO.NET Data Services: server-driven paging. This allows you to constrain the size of result sets that can be requested by clients, eliminating potentially problematic scenarios. In addition, clients can also now request the total count of an entity set, without having to retrieve its data in entirety.

Northeast Roadshow - Silverlight with WCF, WCF REST, and ADO.NET Data Services

Brian Johnson — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 02:40:00 GMT

Once the initial allure of the cool graphics and animation capabilities of Silverlight has passed, you’ll probably say to yourself, "Hey, my app needs data too!" Well, this session delivers on that – not once, not twice, but thrice! We’ll look at accessing remote data services from Silverlight using a standard SOAP-based WCF service, then graduate to creating and consuming a RESTful service via the WCF REST Starter Kit, and end by accessing an Entity Framework model fronted by an ADO.NET Data Service.

Fully functional demo code is available at Code Gallery for those of you that want to tinker with the application as you watch the screen cast.

Northeast Roadshow - REST

Brian Johnson — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 13:43:00 GMT

REST (Representational State Transfer) is all the rage as a lightweight, web service architecture that relies on existing web standards such as HTTP and XML.

In this session, you’ll get insight into the roots of REST, including its four main tenets, and be able to critically discern how “RESTful” various external offerings are. Also covered are new features in .NET that align to RESTful approaches for data and service access including the WCF REST Starter Kit and ADO.NET Data Services.

You can find slides and samples from the Northeast Roadshow events at the Northeast Roadshow Code Gallery Site.

Astoria Design Walkthrough: Alpha preview of Project Codename "Astoria Offline" coming soon

Andrew Conrad — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 15:56:00 GMT

Pablo and one of our hot shot developers Waseem Basheer sit down for a brief discussion about a new Project Astoria incubation project that we have spun up for adding sync and offline support to ADO.NET Data Services.

The coolest thing is that we will have the preview bits available by end of year – so folks can get in early and play with the new functionality plus give feedback on the features early on in our design process.

Astoria Design Walkthrough: Introducing $count as an URI query option

Andrew Conrad — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 20:52:00 GMT

Mike Flasko, ADO.NET Data Services PM, discusses some design work we have been doing around providing support for our #1 customer ask, the ability to ask for the count via the ADO.NET Data Services URI syntax.

Astoria Design Walkthrough: No design... just plugging our PDC talks!

Andrew Conrad — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 18:51:00 GMT

In our latest installment of the Astoria Design Walkthroughs there is no design, just plugs for the ADO.NET Data Services PDC talks.

Both Mike and Pablo are excellent speakers, so if you are at all interested in ADO.NET Data Services, try to catch their PDC talks. Also, pay close attention to what Pablo doesn’t say about the 3rd talk. Apparently the content is very top secret, at least I couldn’t get much information.

Astoria Design Walkthrough: Thinking of a future with sync & offline

Andrew Conrad — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 15:02:00 GMT

In the latest of the Astoria Design walkthroughs, Pablo Castro, ADO.NET Data Service architect, discusses the vision of introducing sync & offline capabilities into ADO.NET Data Services. For those folks going to PDC that want to hear more, be sure to attend Pablo's talk Offline-Enabled Data Services and Desktop Applications. Also on the Astoria team blog is write up of the proposed design.

ADO.NET Data Services (Astoria) in Visual Studio 2008 SP1

Beth Massi — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 20:07:00 GMT

In this interview Saaid Kahn, a Program Manager on the Visual Studio Pro Tools team, shows us how to create an n-tier application against a database using ADO.NET Data Services (Astoria) and an Entity Data Model, both now available in Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1.

ADO.NET Data Services use WCF REST-ful services and provides all the plumbing so you can focus on the program logic by programming against a service proxy. ADO.NET Data Services allow you to easily create data services exposed on the web using URIs to point to pieces of data and simple, well-known formats to represent that data.

Saaid shows us how to create a simple service and then consume it using a Windows client via the "Add Service Reference" dialog in Visual Studio. He also walks through the client proxy methods that work with the data service.

Enjoy,
-Beth Massi, Visual Studio Community

Astoria Design Walkthrough: Friendly Feeds Part 1

Andrew Conrad — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 21:15:00 GMT

For V1 of ADO.NET Data Services (aka Project Astoria) we introduced a process we called Transparent Design. The point of this was to make sure we got the design of our features out to users early enough so we could get feedback that we could act on. Here is a couple of samples:

http://blogs.msdn.com/astoriateam/archive/2008/05/20/merge-vs-replace-semantics-for-update-operations.aspx

http://blogs.msdn.com/astoriateam/archive/2008/04/22/optimistic-concurrency-data-services.aspx

In general, this worked out quite well, however we found it difficult to completely capture the design discussion in notes. Hence, for Astoria vNext we are going to include short videos of folks from the team describing the design of the new features we are considering in addition to the usual design notes.

The first of these videos features Mike Flasko, Project Astoria Program Manager, describing the Friendly Feeds capabilities we are looking at for vNext. Enjoy!

ADO.NET Data Services (VS08 Sp1 B1), Optimistic Concurrency

Mike Taulty — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 09:32:00 GMT

With Data Services, it's most likely that you'd use an optimistic locking strategy for the underlying data and the framework has built-in support which we take a look at here.

ADO.NET Data Services (VS08 Sp1 B1), Batching

Mike Taulty — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 09:17:00 GMT

We can cut down the number of HTTP round-trips that we make from client to service by using the batching feature of Data Services. A service exposes a $batch endpoint that we can send multiple "CRUD" operations to in a single HTTP request.

ADO.NET Data Services (VS08 Sp1 B1), Service Operations

Mike Taulty — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 09:12:00 GMT

Service operations provide a way in which we can add to the core functionality of Data Services in order to expose your own arbitrary functionality by writing server-side functions that can still be invoked (with parameters) via the URI. Here, we take a quick look at how we can do this.

ADO.NET Data Services (VS08 Sp1 B1), Query Interceptors

Mike Taulty — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 09:09:00 GMT

Query interceptors (and change interceptors) allow us to plug code into the dispatch mechanism server side in order to run some of your own code as part of returning a result set or modifying data. Here, we take a quick look.

Mike Taulty — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 10:31:00 GMT

Looking at how we can built a basic .NET client against an ADO.NET Data Service

ADO.NET Data Services (VS08 Sp1 B1) - Querying

Mike Taulty — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 10:29:00 GMT

Taking a quick look at how we can build up URI's to query ADO.NET Data Services and what kind of built-in operators the URI format has.

ADO.NET Data Services (VS08 Sp1 B1) - Surfacing Data

Mike Taulty — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 10:26:00 GMT

Here we look at how we can surface our own custom data types and data from the ADO.NET Entity Framework over ADO.NET Data Services to quickly build a data-centric set of RESTful web services.
