Declarative data binding
AstoriaDataSource is a datasource component for Silverlight 3 that enables you to
easily perform data operations against ADO.NET data service with just simple XAML
markup declaration. When integrated with Intersoft data bound components for Silverlight
such as GridPresenter, all data operations such as sorting, filtering, grouping,
and editing can be enabled with just some property sets, eliminating the needs to
write codes.
Support multiple services
AstoriaDataSource supports multiple data services in a single data source control
instance, enables you to easily encapsulate relational services information in a
centralized configuration. Multiple services feature is also useful for hierarchical
data binding and data drilling functions, which are fully supported by Intersoft
Presenter.
Advanced data caching
Data caching is crucial for high-performance data applications. Presenter includes
multitude of advanced data caching features, such as cache by sorting key, cache
by filtering key, use cache data per instance, use cache data globally, and many
more. Proper caching configuration helps you eliminate performance bottlenecks and
deliver responsive data applications.
