I have an existing WCF RIA project built on the Release Candidate; I'm now moving to the Release version & have discovered many changes. David Scruggs made the following comment on his (MSDN) blog:

"If you’ve written anything in SIlverlight 4 RIA Services, you’ll need to rewrite it. There has been a lot of refactoring and namespace moves."

Having made a brief attempt to compile the old solution with the new RIA framework I'm inclined to agree. My current plan is to:

remove the Silverlight Business Application projects from the Solution
rebuild the EF4 items from the database
create a new Silverlight Business Application project
re-add the files (XAML, CS) from the old Silverlight Business Application project

Does this sound like a reasonable approach? I think it's cleaner than trying to manually alter the existing project.

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
