Roller Coaster!

Well, I'm back to hating Silverlight a little bit. I get into so many problems when I try and work with any reasonable ORM software. First I had to strip out all of my mappings because the Asynchronous restriction won't work with Lazy Loading, and I was happy for a time. Then I wanted to add back some of those fields without the mappings and pass objects with collections attached to them. In this case I wanted to create a new Order and pass the lines and notes all at once so I can deal with everything in a single transaction... and then it blows up again. I try to make things better, I'm starting to wish I had just cut my losses earlier and stuck with WPF where I can use my Lazy Loading and everything else.

At the moment I'm working on some simple side projects, which are making me happier about things, but they aren't using any databases at the moment. I'm porting a bunch of my school projects from Java into Silverlight and will host them on a web site in the distant future. And I also need to revamp one of the screens in the old software for Veronica, need to add a filter for the Customer listing. Apparently with 3000 customers it becomes a bit of a nuisance to scroll through a list :)
