RIA: how to get functionality, not a data
- by Budda
On the server side I have the following class:
public class Customer
{
[Key]
public int Id { get; set; }
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string SecondName { get; set; }
public string FullName { get { return string.Concat(FirstName, " ", SecondName); } }
}
The problem is that each field is calculated and transferred to the client, for example 'FullName' property:
[DataMember()]
[Editable(false)]
[ReadOnly(true)]
public string FullName
{
get
{
return this._fullName;
}
set
{
if ((this._fullName != value))
{
this.ValidateProperty("FullName", value);
this.OnFullNameChanging(value);
this._fullName = value;
this.RaisePropertyChanged("FullName");
this.OnFullNameChanged();
}
}
}
Instead of data transferring (that is traffic consuming, in some cases it introduces significant overhead). I would like to have a calculation on the client side.
Is this possible without manual duplication of the property implementation?
Thank you.
