What's in DevForce? .NET 4.5+, Silverlight 5, Entity Framework 5+, Windows Universal ... and more. Migrating from a legacy version of DevForce? See Migrating from DevForce 2010 or Migrating from DevForce Classic. Punch takes the pain out of the development of data-driven rich XAML applications in DevForce. To ease migration of legacy code, both DevForce and Punch provide compatibility packs with limited backwards-compatibility for the coroutine-style asynchronous pattern. Find out more about Punch's backward compatibility. In order to run DevForce samples you will need to download and install the NorthwindIB database. Securing an OData service can take many forms. Our code sample shows how to secure it using basic authentication and authorization headers. The Punch DialogManager provides a convenient way to handle user prompts and dialog boxes. Learn how to bind a DevForce entity model to Telerik UI controls. Precompiled views can dramatically cut start up time. We show you how to reduce these delays in our video. Want to learn more about Punch? See video walkthroughs of the Punch TempHire and Screen Harness reference apps. Access the EntityAspect from DevForce AOP entities. Hint: Don't add an EntityAspect property. Use EntityFacts. There are some good reasons to create custom entity base classes. We'll suggest why and how you might do it. Using LINQPad? Try our DevForce LINQPad driver to use LINQPad with DevForce models. DevForce sends compressed binary messages between the EntityManager and the EntityServer. You can use our Fiddler extension to inspect these messages and debug your n-tier DevForce applications.
