Anyone that has followed Silverlight in recent months has probably heard that RIA Services is "game changing." Admittedly, it is pretty cool, but what if you want to go past the slap-it-together demos everyone is doing on the Internet? What if I want to tailor RIA Services for my specific needs? How do I minimize my data traffic to keep my cloud computing costs as low as possible?
In this session we will look under the hood for RIA Services and explore how to manually manipulate RIA Services from code. How do I force one row in my RIA Services bound datagrid to update, without refreshing the whole page? Where is the RIA Services cache inside my Silverlight application? How can I access it, what if I want to remove something from the cache? How can I control filtering from my code? How do I implement security into my RIA Services? This session will cover these topics and more.
