EntitySpaces to Support the EffiProz Database Engine(www.entityspaces.net)

submitted by EntitySpacesEntitySpaces(315) 1 year, 6 months ago

EffiProz is an interesting database and it seems like they have made some very good strategic moves. For instance, Silverlight doesn’t support System.Data so EffiProz went and created their own class library that mimic's an ADO.NET provider since ADO.NET Providers aren’t supported under Silverlight. The same holds true for Windows Phone 7, EffiProz has a data provider for that as well. We’ve had our eye on EffiProz ever since the initial problems with VistaDB were made known. What EffiProz is doing seems like a much wiser course of action for a smaller database engine as opposed to going after being able to comply with a very large Microsoft Entity Framework. Something we have been focusing on at EntitySpaces is being able to go wherever .NET can go, including Mono, which we support already. We will continue to support VistaDB as well (including new releases) and we already support the much improved Microsoft SQL CE 4.0 database. read more...

This release provides four new templates for developing RIA Services Applications. EntitySpaces can create everything you need to get started on your RIA Services application.

Finally a new RIA DynamicQuery template will create your EntitySpaces DynamicQuery classes which can be used under Silverlight in your RIA Services application.

Writing a Silverlight Application Using EntitySpaces is Awesome(www.entityspaces.net)

submitted by EntitySpacesEntitySpaces(315) 1 year, 8 months ago

Sometimes you’re so busy designing, coding, testing, and supporting a product that you don’t take the time to stop and appreciate what you have actually accomplished. A customer of ours asked us to create a video overview of our Silverlight functionality and in doing so we had to step back and say “wow”, this is pretty cool. It truly is easy to use EntitySpaces to create a Silverlight application as you will see. read more...

EntitySpaces REST/POX API Codename Epoxy(entityspaces.net)

submitted by AerosSagaAerosSaga(165) 4 years, 11 months ago

Epoxy is a REST/POX webservice API that extends the EntitySpaces Architecture. If you are unfamiliar with what REST/POX is I would recommend checking out the excellent series over at Softies On Rails. This addition is meant to empower the creation of massively public http API's for any application that you develop with the EntitySpaces Architecture. Why would you want to expose your EntitySpaces objects via REST/POX and not just provide the defacto SOAP service API? Well, lets face it not everyone is living in the .NET world. Don't you want all your cool ruby coding friends to be able to consume your services easily? Of course you do, not to mention the 100's of other geeks that will write clients if only you allow them to do it in the language of their choice without jumping through a lot of hoops. For a more authoritative answer on when to use REST/POX instead of or in conjunction with SOAP, check out what Don Box has to say about it. read more...

EntitySpaces to Support CodeSmith(entityspaces.net)

submitted by AerosSagaAerosSaga(165) 4 years, 11 months ago

EntitySpaces 2008 will greatly expand the reach of the EntitySpaces Architecture for the Microsoft .NET Framework by supporting both MyGeneration and CodeSmith. Our decision to support CodeSmith by no means indicates we are abandoning MyGeneration. MyGeneration will continue to be supported by EntitySpaces. We understand code generator loyalty, and we love MyGeneration. But, CodeSmith has its fervent followers, too. EntitySpaces 2008 will open up a new market for EntitySpaces and will give current EntitySpaces users a choice of generator. As of EntitySpaces 2008, the EntitySpaces Architecture will be a very viable choice for the CodeSmith Community. Supporting CodeSmith will have the added advantage of allowing users to generate their EntitySpaces architecture(s) from within Visual Studio 2005 via CodeSmith’s Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 integration. Supporting both MyGeneration and CodeSmith, as this post will outline, can be accomplished quite elegantly, and even allow for greater customization by the EntitySpaces Team. read more...

submitted by AerosSagaAerosSaga(165) 4 years, 11 months ago

The EntitySpaces 2007 (ES2007) Architecture for the Microsoft .NET Framework was released to production on May 28th, 2007. The EntitySpaces team would like to thank both our customers and those evaluating EntitySpaces for working hand in hand with us on the ES2007 release. The first ES2007 beta was posted on March 4th and thus began the customer feedback / defect reporting cycle with new versions following quickly as advancements were made. You have truly helped us to make EntitySpaces 2007 a very solid offering for those developing for the Microsoft .NET Framework. We are particularly pleased with some of the mobile development that is beginning to take root. We strive hard through our forums to hear you and allow you to shape the architecture you have invested in. We also work very hard to provide high quality support on our forums and to make ourselves available to our customers. ES2007 is a major advancement over it's predecessor (1.5.3) released on December 30th, 2006, these are just some of the new features. read more...
