Now having looked at the video this morning I promise not to make a video at 1 in the morning when I can barely hold my head up. I'm buying a professional quality microphone and will make video's in the morning after a fresh cup of coffee, still, the proxies are very cool ...

This preview should really get you fired up for ES2010. Our proxies are now even smarter. In EntitySpaces 2009 (ES2009) our proxies track row state for you automatically which is cool, however in ES2010 they also track column level dirty information. The proxies can also be decorated with DataContract, XML, and JSon serialization attribute tags all at the same time. This is very cool for client side proxies as clients can then serialize the data to disk, or to the Browser, or simply change the data and send it back to the server.

Our client side proxies are also great candidates for MVC development. With the coming release of .NET 4.0 you will have WCF and Workflow (WF4) integration capabilities and our client side proxies will make great data envelopes for traveling around inside of WF4 and ensure that your row state and column level dirty information are always up-to-date. We are making sure EntitySpaces can go where ever you need to go and do so effortlessly, and this includes the Cloud (more on that in an upcoming preview).

Our next preview video will show you ES2010’s ability to generate your WCF endpoints automatically. You can generate all of your WCF end points for your data in one big “mombo” WCF Service or have each entity type housed in it’s own WCF Service. This EntitySpaces template is highly customizable as well since it does not generate the core classes. It merely creates WCF Services and you can tweak it to meet your specific needs. Also, we are adding an online sharable template library that is accessible from within the EntitySpaces Visual Studio AddIn. That means you can upload and download templates directly from the template browser. So, if you create a cool tweak to our WCF template or create an awesome REST template for EntitySpaces and you want to share it you can, and it will automatically show up in the EntitySpaces Template Browser for all EntitySpaces users. Are you excited yet?

Take a look at this preview and see what you think.
