Paging data using ComponentOne Studio for Entity Framework.

Improve and simplify data binding with new Entity Framework for WinForms, WPF and Silverlight.

ComponentOne Studio for Entity Framework improves and simplifies data binding with ADO.NET Entity Framework and RIA Services by solving common problems related to loading, paging, filtering and saving data. It also provides performance enhancements such as fast loading and transparent scrolling over large data sets with Virtual Mode.

Features

Cross-platform Support - Combine multiple client view sources using Entity Framework or RIA Services.
Design-time Components - Setup views directly on the designer surface with easy-to-use property dialogs.
Virtual Mode Improves Performance - Navigate through large data sets asynchronously.
Live Views with LiveLinq - Speed up queries and provide live views.
Smart Client-side Caching - When new queries are executed, it does not necessarily go to the server. It checks the client-side cache first and will not go to the server if it can find the result in the cache. By minimizing the number of trips to and from the server, this significantly improves performance and speed.
