  2. I don`t see jqplot and flot on NuGet, and those scripts are missing from the solution. Maybe they should be uploaded, they look quite useful :) . Once I got them from their respective websites, it worked like a charm. Nice Demo !

      Matthieu,

      Yes, they are not part of the solution. The Readme provides instructions for downloading them. We can ship jqplot in our download.

      Glad you got it all sorted out.

      Have a super day,

      Karl

    Hello Karl,

    I was reading the documentation on an earlier drop and noticed the part about deriving the UI-Model Classes from the DataModel Classes as one possible way of creating a relation between the two. We are currently looking into such a solution together with EntityFramework. Do you have a tip on how EF would manage to instantiate the UI-Classes objects instead of the “regular” Data-Model objects?

    Best regards
    Gope

      Gope,

      Would it be possible for you to post your question here: http://silk.codeplex.com/discussions

      This looks like a good question that others may have and it would be good to capture the discussion thread on the Silk site so other can view the information.

      When you post the question, would it be possible to say which document you read the information in. I think its the Server Side chapter, it would be helpful to other readers to get the same context.

      Best,

      Karl
