Accessing my own datalayer using RIA & Silverlight
- by Norsten
Is it possible for me to connect to my own data provide via WCF RIA services?
I've created a small datalayer that connnects to DynamicAX datasource. I would like to use Silverlight 4 & RIA service to access that datalayer.
At it's most basic -I've done the following...
1) I've added an empty domainclass to the webproject and in that class I created a simple method to return a string...
[EnableClientAccess()]
public class ProjectService : DomainService
{
public string TestViaRIA()
{
return "Hello!";
}
}
2) I then added reference to the web project in my silvelight class and created a bit of code to try and invoke the method...
using ProjectApp.Web;
namespace ProjectApp.Views
{
public partial class ProjectControl : UserControl
{
public ProjectControl()
{
InitializeComponent();
ProjectContext ctx = new ProjectContext();
var x = ctx.TestViaRIA();
testTextBox.Text = x.ToString();
}
}
}
the returned value is "{System.ServiceModel.DomainServices.Client.InvokeOperation}".
I'm obviously doing something wrong here and I would appreciate some guidance on how I can achive this.
Thanks in advance
