I had forgotten about Run tags, I've been too deep in web dev these days. But really, look at flow documents in WPF. That's what SL needs, badly. Hyperlinks are one part of that. Silverlight needs to be able to bridge the gap between application centric and document centric viewpoints. If we can get there, ...

This is really all part of a larger problem with Silverlight, and that is the handling of text content. bjornte and others who are trying to recreate a web site as a Silverlight app will begin to see this. Silverlight only has the textblock. We can hack things by using various panels but that doesn't really solve the problem. ...

This is the kind of stuff that has me really concerned about this platform right now (Silverlight + Dataform + RIA Services). I am working on an accounting system with a SQL Server back end for a client. I made some data entry forms with MS Access and it was totally simple. I did demo forms with ASP.Net, and it was a little more ...

[quote user="ColinBlair"]I am trying to help people avoid by reminding them that RIA Services is a seperate thing from the DataForm.[/quote]
I understand Colin. But it really isn't relevant that they are separate when you are using them together in a data application. I spent a lot of time getting combo boxes in the ...

I was having that happen too. Look at the XAML I posted under Grid.Resources. There I am placing a domaincontext tag. That represents one instance of my domain context. Then look at the DDS XAML where it uses that resource. That way, both the form's DDS and the combo box's DDS are using the same ...

Not sure why you would need to call Submit changes for the combo box? I don't think you would. The combo box is using the GetUnitsListDataSource to populate its list of items. But that is a one way trip. The combo box's underlying value is the LU_Unit member of the SheduledTeam (the item the Dataform ...

[quote user="ColinBlair"]To be clear, the DataForm is not part of RIA Services, it is not part of a data platform, and unlike RIA Services it has been released to production use. There is no "we aren't quite there yet", we are there and this is it. That is one of the reasons I keep telling people that this is not the ...

I just got a combobox to work in my dataform as it should and did it with no added procedural code. I realize your situation is a little different since you are using a child form but take a look at what I did and see if that helps. I am very interested in what happens with your app because I will be doing the same sort of thing ...

All,
Thanks for replying.
Klinger, you were totally right, although I didn't get it until I downloaded manish's sample app. It isn't enough to specify the same Domaincontext, you have to use the same instance of that domain context. That is the key to everything working correctly. Whew! I guess later that ...

Thank you Luke, I understand that the DataForm is a client-side control....
But I do not agree that the AutoCommit is described pretty well. "Items are committed" - the word commit has always meant committing the data back to the original data store. If they mean that the data is only comitted locally, it wouldn't ...
