I wanted to post a welcome message to everybody that is working with the "Jasper" CTP. In case you aren't familiar with "Jasper" go check out the download at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=471bb3ac-b31a-49cd-a567-f2e286715c8f&DisplayLang=en and ...
Ok, so perhaps I'm a little more excited than I should be... but this basically untied my twiddling thumbs for a fairly important project that I'm working on, so I finally get to move forward on it.One question I do have is this - why is it that we cannot create an IIS-hosted Astoria project? ...
Hi all, I am using IronPython from the latest VS SDK and trying to run the sample "Querry" from Jasper CTP. First I realized that I have to add the following into app.config <assemblyBinding> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="System.Core" ...
Are there any plans to include LINQ support for WebData?i.e. Code Snippet NorthwindWebDataContext ctx = new NorthwindWebDataContext(...); var q = from c in ctx.Customer where c.City == "London" select c; instead of Code Snippet WebDataContext ctx = new WebDataContext(...); var ...

what's the difference between web data services vs web services
Recently, I gave a talk at the Singapore .Net usergroup on Project Jasper. Thought I will post up the code I have created so that anyone who is interested to try out Jasper can use it. You can download it here http://community.sgdotnet.org/files/folders/jasper/entry144836.aspx Have fun! ...
WOW!!! Yet once again another fantastic idea from the Microsoft camp!This is an incredibly amazing concept! I was actually just thinking the other day (based on my personal project that I'm working on) that it would be awesome to have the ability to dynamically create data models using the ...

Well, this was a short-lived happy day. I downloaded the September Astoria bits and I installed them and know they're working because I see "Web Data Service" as a new option when I right-click my project. When I attempt to follow the Astoria "hello world" tutorial, I see ...
If I have a button (e.g. Save) on a ASP.Net webform, how do I cause it to use the AutoDataSource EntityInserted event when it is clicked? Thanxs.

Will there be a new CTP that runs on Beta2? Since ADO Entity Framework for Orcas Beta2 is not released yet, will new CTP closely follow Entity Framework for beta2? The documentation says this project is only for languages that support late binding only. So this means you can not use it from ...
I think I "get" the point of Web3S, it's basically a couple of guidelines for how you should interact in a RESTful, POXy manner... but what I don't get is why it ADDS complexity to something that most people tout for its ease of use and simplicity. For example, if I make a pure ...

Given that Astoria is not coupled directly with Orcas - when can I get an install of Astoria for the Beta 2 release of Visual Studio Orcas ... or, better yet, can I just use the Beta 1 install on the new release? Bottom line is that Astoria represents 90% of my interest in Orcas right now, ...

Hi, I'm interested to know whether there has been any interest from other product groups in leveraging Astoria for their own needs. There must be a multitude of products within Microsoft that have an interest in making data available as a data service. A quick brainstorm: The Office Business ...

Hey guys, I read on your blog today about your intended support for Web3S as a payload format. Great news - its fantastic to see disparate product groups within MSFT combining like that. More of the same please - it would be great to see Astoria+Web3S become a "default" choice within ...
Are there any plans (if not already) to allow Jasper to cache its generated code or complied assemblies and either be configured to not recheck the database or EDM, or (if using an EDM) check the file timestamp of the EDM file (and corresponding custom classes?), or allow some custom code to ...

Regarding when to use default EDM (generated from the db) or a pre-existing EDM... is it possible to do both by telling Jasper to use a pre-existing EDM but also use a default EDM (generated) for tables not specified in the pre-existing EDM or for a manually specified list of tables? I.e. can ...

I am just trying to get my feet wet here and have viewed the 'pre-MIX' Ch9 'Meet the Jasper team' webcast, and my Configuration is: Windows XP sp2, Orcas Beta1 March 2007 CTP, Jasper MIX/MAY 2007 CTP, .net 3.0, .net 3.5 (Pre-release), SQL Server 2005 Express. Issue: I am trying to build ...

I remember the question about how to deal with Customers.CompanyName vs. Suppliers.CompanyName being asked in teh MIX session and believe the answer was "we'll be addressing this", I was wondering if the naming service can be used to fix this. The examples in teh CTP seem to focus ...

Every single demo that I've seen of Jasper has involved people using ipy to dynamically interrogate the database, which is fine. Also, the ASP.NET demos of Jasper have used VB as the code-behind language. Here's the problem: both of those scenarios that I will never use in production. I will ...
I have tried using the following code to add a new entry to the datastore WebRequest req = null; HttpWebResponse res = null; // Initialise the web request // Get Bytes for auth string {user}:{password} ASCIIEncoding encoding = new ASCIIEncoding(); Byte[] userPassBytes = ...
I'm looking at the VIsual Basic query samples and curious about the compile time checking in the LINQ samples. This may just be the mystery of Dynamic Languages... In this code: Code Snippet Dim customers As Object = From c In CType(context.Customers, IQuery) _ Where c.Country = ...
Hi, Interested in this Astoria where can I find more information on it ? Thanks
Hi, If Autobinder bind your "dynamic class" to an BindingSource, this BindingSource.SupportsSorting is true, but SupportsFiltering is false. Why? -christoph
Hi, Is there a JavaScript out there that can be used to access the REST based Astoria data services. In other words, How can i download the data in JSON format from a Astoria REST data service from javascript? Thank You, Vish
I'm having issues with Jasper. I'm just testing it out using VB Express Orcas. I've had lots of success using the Northwind Database but as soon as I try to use any other database I have issues. Either nothing will show up in any of the controls or I will get some sort of "schema not ...

Hi! I was playing around with WinForms demo that comes with Jasper CTP. The demos use Nortwind database and there is a form that allows insertion of records into Products table (SimpleForm.vb). Since ProductID field is identity field I would like to enter only ProductName, but I can't ...
I have installed ORCAS beta 2 and am wokring through the creating a local data service using Visual Studio. I saw the previous message regarding ADO.Net EDM wizard not visible. I am not seeing the ADO.Net at all. Is there something else we should use to connect to a database in this example for ...
