In my last post , I’ve talked a little bit about the new plugins introduced by the latest release of MS AJAX (beta, at the time of writing). One of the things that didn’t enjoy much was that I had to call the JQuery’s get method in order to get a reference

The MS AJAX beta release adds some new plugins to the previous ones. Besides the existing setCommand and bind, we now have access to the following plugins: addHander: you can use this plugin to set up a handler for one event fired by one or several DOM

In the last week, MS AJAX beta was released during PDC 2009 . One of the things that this released added is ACT script loader support. If you go into the samples, you’ll see that there is an Extended folder which holds all the client files for the behaviors

At least, when the RTM version is released! Ok, I guess you need some context: in the previous post , I talked about a problem which was mentioned to me by Andy in the comments of an existing post. The problem was that the __msajaxBindings field ended

In my “goodbye MS AJAX post”, reader Andy asked a really interesting question : how to serialize an object which is used in a binding relationship? The main problem is that the JavaScriptSerializer doesn’t support circular references. Unfortunately, it

Well, this really doesn’t deserve any special attention. Ok, let me put it another way: there’s a lot of work going on behind the scenes, but you shouldn’t have to worry with any of it. I’ve thought about writing a post on the objects that end up being

Here we are again, for more on the MS AJAX library. In the previous post , we’ve seen that we can interact with ADO.NET Data Services by using the AdoNetDataContext instances. Today, we’ll be looking at more advanced features of the ADO.NET Data Services

Today we’re going to start looking at the AdoNetDataContext. This class expands the DataContext object and uses several specific methods for ensuring the correct interaction with an existing ADO.NET Data Service. These internal methods added by the AdoNetDataContext

Before we can move on and take a look at the AdoNetDataContext component, we need to talk about one more topic: creating entities and how it might be integrated with DataContext component. The DataContext exposes a createEntity method which can be used

Today we’ll keep looking at the DataContext component and we’ll see how it supports deferred properties. Deferred properties are properties which are lazy loaded as “needed”. Using deferred properties means that the component will try to make a remote

Today we’ll keep going in our study of the DataContext component and we’ll see how we can establish relationships between objects through links. I guess you’re probably asking something like: “Hum…establishing relationships between objects…how about using

In the previous post , we’ve started looking at identity and how it’s supported by the DataContext component. Today we’ll improve the initial algorithm so that we’re able to support more advanced scenarios. Even though the first algorithm for identity

We’ve already met several interesting features of the DataContext component. Today we’ll keep going and we’ll start discussing identity. I’m not sure if you’ve noticed, but the DataContext exposes several identity related methods. For instance, the getIdentity
