    Moving from July RIA to WFC RIA

    Jan 09, 2010 12:41 AM | LINK

    I've developed several SL3 July RIA applications.  I'd now like to upgrade to WFC RIA.  I've examined the breaking changes document, all 17 pages.

     Asside from the Assembly and Namespace refactoring, and of course added in better error handling (the easy stuff), can anybody provide me with a bit of insight about how to handle the other 12 pages of changes?  Yes, this is a very broad question, I'd just like to hear a bit of feedback from somebody that's already performed the upgrade, no need for a step by step.

     Thanks,

    Paul

    Hi Sethian,

    I have a small project and did it manually to upgrade to WCF RIA Services.  Hope this will be optimised when we release a RTM version.  Thanks for your understanding.

    Best regards,

    Jonathan

    How difficult was it?  In hours?  Each project is MVVM and has over 30 ViewModels.  I probably have RIA code in over 150 places, not even counting all the server side code.

    So if I have to review all that code, at 10 minutes a review, I'm looking at 25 hours+ for the upgrade.
