Building an Occasionally Connected ADO.Net Data Service with “Astoria Offline” Preview

Guy Burstein — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 17:46:24 GMT

Building an Occasionally Connected ADO.Net Data Service with “Astoria Offline” Preview

This is a step by step walkthrough of creating a new ADO.Net Data Service that support offline and synchronization with the recently released “Astoria Offline” alpha preview.

1. Create an ADO.Net Data Service that Allows Synchronization

Create a new standard Web Application project.

Add a new Entity Data Model. This time, make sure you select the [Offline Preview] ADO.Net Data Model template. Also notice that the extension of the file is now .edmxpreview instead of .edmx.

Continue with the wizard to create the data model. When the wizard completes, notice that the project has a new reference to System.Data.Entity.Preview.dll.

Add a new ADO.Net Data Service to the project, but make sure you select the [Offline Preview] ADO.Net Data Service template.

In the “Choose what to publish wizard” select Existing Entity Model. We could have started from this wizard from the beginning and create a new Entity Data Model from here.

Select the Entity Container that is part of the Entity Data Model you created earlier. In my sample it is BankEntities. Also notice the new “Enable Synchronization” checkbox – make sure it is checked.

This adds several things to your project:

1. Several new references were added to the project: Microsoft.Data.Entities.Synchronization is the extension for Sync Services that enables entity Synchronization. System.Data.Services.Preview and System.Data.Services.Client.Preview are the ones that does the magic of Astoria Offline.

2. Two new SQL Scripts were added to the Entity Data Model (notice the Bank.create.sql and the Bank.drop.sql scripts in the image). These contain the DDL statements needed to change the database schema in order to support synchronization.

To actually enable synchronization, you’ll have to run the create script. To do that, open it in Visual Studio, and execute it against your database.

3. The ADO.Net Data Service is added to the project and it is now empty. It is already connected the the entity data model, but right now does not support anything.

Set the access rules to the resources of the data model (in this sample I give full access to all the resources). In addition to that, tell the data service that it supports synchronization. To do that, cast the config object to IDataServiceConfiguration2 interface (new in this preview) and assign true to the AllowSynchronization property.

public class BankDataService : DataService<BankEntities>

  // This method is called only once to initialize service-wide policies.

  public static void InitializeService(IDataServiceConfiguration config)

    config.SetEntitySetAccessRule("*", EntitySetRights.All);

    ((IDataServiceConfiguration2)config).AllowSynchronization = true;

The ADO.Net Data Service is now ready to run. Press F5 to run it and play with the URL in the address bar to navigate through the resources.

2. Create a Occasionally Connected Client Application

Add a standard Windows Forms Application to the solution.

Add a Service Reference to the project and let visual studio discover the data service in your solution. When you add the reference Visual Studio will tell you that this ADO.Net Data Service is offline enabled.

Click Yes to enable offline scenarios in the client application.

A scary dialog should appear and tell you that an error has occurred. You can disregard it by pressing Cancel.

Adding this service reference has added not only the client side proxy for consuming this service, but also a local database with the database schema that matches your model.

Open the Data Sources window (Shift + Alt + D), and add a new data source of type Object. Select one of the object types in your client application that matches the model and click OK.

Drag the list of objects onto your form and let Visual Studio create all the necessary controls for navigating through the data.

Double click the window title to add an event handler to the form’s loaded event. In this event handler we will load the data from the Local Database. Add a new for the context, and in the Load event handler – use it to get the data and bind it to the binding source.

public partial class CustomersForm : Form

  public CustomersForm()

    InitializeComponent();

  BankEntities db;

  private void CustomersForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

    db = new BankEntities();

    var query = from c in db.Customers

                select c;

    this.customersBindingSource.DataSource = query;

In order to support saving changes to the local database – enable the Save button on the Form and double click it to add an event handler. In the handler – simply apply the changes to the database.

private void customersBindingNavigatorSaveItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

  db.SaveChanges();

Add another menu item the the binding navigator that will do the actual synchronization. For it click event handler – implement the synchronization logic:

Add a Microsoft.Data.Entities.Synchronization.DataServiceSyncProvider instance, and point to the the ADO.Net Data Service URL.

Create a Microsoft.Data.Entities.Synchronization.ObjectContextSyncProvider instance, which is the client-side wrapper for the BankEntities’s ObjectContext.

Create a new Microsoft.Synchronization.SyncOrchestrator instance and set the local and remote providers.

Then, do the actual synchronization. Notice that the sync operation sync between the service and the local database, therefore the data needs to be fetched from the local database again.

private void syncItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

  DataServiceSyncProvider dsp = new DataServiceSyncProvider(

            new Uri("http://localhost:8474/BankDataService.svc/"), "global");

  ObjectContextSyncProvider esp = new ObjectContextSyncProvider(

      () => new BankEntities());

  SyncOrchestrator so = new SyncOrchestrator();

  so.RemoteProvider = dsp;

  so.LocalProvider = esp;

  so.Direction = SyncDirectionOrder.UploadAndDownload;

  so.Synchronize();

  // Load the data again

  CustomersForm_Load(null, null);

Finally, set the client application as the startup project and run it. Sync it for the first time to get the data from the remote server to your local database, and then sync it occasionally to upload changes and download changes to your client.

Enjoy!

ADO.Net Data Services Offline (“Astoria” Offline) – Alpha Preview

Guy Burstein — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 16:11:40 GMT

ADO.Net Data Services Offline (“Astoria” Offline) – Alpha Preview

While only a week ago, the Astoria team has announced ADO.NET Data Services v1.5 CTP1. Today, an alpha preview of Astoria Offline just became available.

ADO.NET Data Services v1.5 CTP1 is a tech preview of the next release of ADO.NET Data Services. It will initially target the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and Silverlight 2 platforms in a future version support the .NET Framework 4.0 platform.

“Astoria Offline” enables developers to add data-synchronization behavior between a client application and an ADO.NET Data Service, allowing the client to be offline without an interruption in use. The offline project is very early, and is still largely in the incubation stage therefore it is not currently committed to any upcoming product, and it is just a preview.

The two will be separate releases, and will initially be incompatible with each other (Offline will only work with ADO.NET Data Services 1.0).

Enjoy!

VS 2008 SP1: Add Reference to ADO.Net Data Service

Guy Burstein — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 21:41:03 GMT

VS 2008 SP1: Add Reference to ADO.Net Data Service

Not a log time ago, when Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Beta was released, I updated my ADO.Net Data Services series to the SP1 bits. In my post Visual Studio 2008 SP1: Querying an ADO.Net Data Service via .Net Client I showed how to use datasvcutil.exe to generate the client side classes in order to consume the data service.

In SP1 of Visual Studio 2008, things are a bit easier, with the Add Service Reference improvements that now supports ADO.Net Data Service references.

So, after you have created a simple ADO.Net Data Service, you can create a .net client application and use the Add Service Reference (like you would use with WCF Service), paste the URL of the metadata endpoint of the data service (or let Visual Studio discover it if it is in the same solution).

Visual Studio reads the metadata of the service, and builds the data services entities. If you click OK, Visual Studio goes and generates all the client side classes for you, adds the references, and you can start using the service right away.

BlogEntities svc = new BlogEntities(new Uri("http://localhost:1476/BlogDataService.svc"));
var query = (from p in svc.Posts
            where p.PostID > 3
            orderby p.PublishDate
            select p).Skip(2).Take(2);
 
foreach (Posts p in query)
{
    Console.WriteLine("{0} posted on {1}", p.Title, p.PublishDate);
    Console.WriteLine(p.Body);
 
}

Enjoy!

Visual Studio 2008 SP1: Querying an ADO.Net Data Service via .Net Client

Guy Burstein — Tue, 13 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT

Visual Studio 2008 SP1: Querying an ADO.Net Data Service via .Net Client

This post is a part of a series of posts Exploring Beta 1 of Visual Studio 2008 and .Net Framework 3.5, and specifically, the ADO.Net Data Services framework that will ship as part of it.

In part1 I had a step by step guide for building a simple web data service, that exposed Entity Sets of the Entity Data Model I've created. Then, I used the browser to request data from the Data Service. Although it was very nice, it was not useful in real applications. In this post, I will talk about how we can query the Data Service from a .net client application. This post is a step by step guide for creating a client application that queries the Blog Data Service I build in the previous post.

1. Create a .Net Client Application

Create a new Console Application, and add a reference the the client side components for ADO.Net Data Services assembly (System.Data.Services.Client.dll, formerly called Microsoft.Data.WebClient.dll).

2. Generating Client Side Entities with datasvcutil.exe

Open the Blog Data Service from the previous post and browse to the service (http://localhost:1039/BlogDataService.svc), just to make sure we can access the service add pull its metadata. If you want to explore the data service metadata you can add /$metadata to the url (http://localhost:1039/BlogDataService.svc/$metadata)

Open a command windows and navigate to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5 folder. In order to generate the client classes, we use the datasvcutil.exe tool with the following command:

datasvcutil.exe /uri:http://localhost:1039/BlogDataService.svc /out:BlogEntities.cs

This command queries the metadata of the Data Service from the input uri and generates the entities code in a file called BlogEntities.cs.

Microsoft (R) DataSvcUtil version 3.5.0.0
Copyright (C) 2008 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Writing object layer file...

Generation Complete -- 0 errors, 0 warnings

Add the BlogEntities.cs code file to the client project. This adds the generated classes to the project and makes them available for use in the client application.

3. Querying using DataServiceContext and DataServiceQuery<T>

There are several ways in which we can query our data service:

.
Using the generated class that inherits from DataServiceContext.
Using LINQ to ADO.Net Data Services.

I. The untyped approach using DataServiceContext

Create an instance of DataServiceContext, and pass the url of the data service as a parameter.

DataServiceContext svc = new DataServiceContext(new Uri("http://localhost:1039/BlogDataService.svc"));

Now, in order to query for the list of posts, you can create a query.

var query = ctx.CreateQuery<Post>("Posts");
foreach (Post p in query)
{
  Console.WriteLine("{0} posted on {1}", p.Title, p.PublishDate);
  Console.WriteLine(p.Body);
}

The DataServiceContext.CreateQuery<T> takes the relative path of the Entity Set we want to query, and returns an instance of DataServiceQuery<T> which is IQueryable. This means that only when we first enumerate the results, the query will be translated into a web request and be sent to the Data Service. If we hover the query object while debugging, we can see the URI of the request that will be sent to the service in order to perform the query.

II. Using the generated class that inherits from DataServiceContext

One of the classes that datasvcutil.exe has generated is BlogEntities, which is very similar to the approach taken by the LINQ to SQL DataContext and Entity Framework's ObjectContext.

public partial class BlogEntities : System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceContext

{

public BlogEntities(global::System.Uri serviceRoot) : base(serviceRoot) { }

public System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceQuery<Blogs> Blogs

{

get { return base.CreateQuery<Blogs>("Blogs"); }

}

public System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceQuery<Categories> Categories

{

get { return base.CreateQuery<Categories>("Categories"); }

}

public System.Data.Services.Client.DataServiceQuery<Posts> Posts

{

get { return base.CreateQuery<Posts>("Posts"); }

}

...

}

It is a partial class that inherits from the "untyped" DataServiceContext and exposes a strongly typed DataServiceQuery<T> objects for the data service entity sets as properties. The constructors takes the base URL of the service as a "connection string".

In order to use the typed Blogentities, we can write:

BlogEntities svc = new BlogEntities(new Uri("http://localhost:1039/BlogDataService.svc"));
var query = svc.Posts;
foreach (Posts p in query)
{
    Console.WriteLine("{0} posted on {1}", p.Title, p.PublishDate);
    Console.WriteLine(p.Body);
}

We can even take a more sophisticated query. Since the DataServiceQuery<T> is an IQueryable, you can use it's extension methods in order to add operators to the query such as:

var query = svc.Posts.Where(p1=>p1.PostID == 2);

which results in the following URI for querying the data service: http://localhost:1039/BlogDataService.svc/Posts(2)/

var query = svc.Posts.OrderBy(p=>p.PublishDate).Skip(2).Take(2);

which produces: http://localhost:1039/BlogDataService.svc/Posts()?$orderby=PublishDate&$skip=2&$top=2

and you get the idea...

III. LINQ to ADO.Net Data Services

8. Use LINQ to ADO.Net Data Services to query the service. Again, since the DataServiceQuery is an IQueryable, you can use LINQ syntax to query it:

var query = (from p in svc.Posts
            where p.PostID > 3
            orderby p.PublishDate
            select p).Skip(2).Take(2);

Conclusion

ADO.Net Data Services provides a rich mechanism for querying a data service from a .net client application. We start by creating the DataServiceContext, and using DataServiceQuery objects to perform queries. The datasvcutil.exe tool can generate the client side entities for us.

Enjoy!

ADO.Net Data Services Screencasts

I've been working on my own ADO.Net Data Services screencast, but with all the time I'm spending in my new job, I couldn't find the time to finally record and upload it.

Fortunately, Mike Taulty is faster then me, and has already published several screencasts:

Great stuff! I totally recommend.

ADO.Net Data Services Feedback: DataContextServiceProvider Required for LINQ to SQL support

Guy Burstein — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 19:16:07 GMT

ADO.Net Data Services Feedback: DataContextServiceProvider Required for LINQ to SQL support

After writing my previous posts about ADO.Net Data Services:

I took a little time to write some logic that manipulates data on the client side and applies the changes back to the service.

Starting with adding a new entity:

BlogDataContext ctx = new BlogDataContext("http://localhost:2445/BlogData.svc");
 
Blog blog = new Blog { BlogID = "guy.burstein", BlogName = "My new Blog", Owner = "Guy Burstein" };
ctx.AddObject("Blogs", blog);
 
ctx.SaveChanges();

I got a WebException: "The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.", which means that the Data Service cannot handle my request to add a new entity.

Digging with reflector, I had some insights about the process being taken when the Data Service is being initialized when a request needs to be processed:

public class BlogData : WebDataService<  SomeDataContextHere  >
{
   ...
}

According to the context being provided as the generic argument for the WebDataService class, an appropriate IWebDataServiceProvider is being created.

IWebDataServiceProvider provider = WebDataService<T>.CreateProvider(dataServiceType);

The CreateProvider method check if the dataServiceType is an ObjectContext (Entity Framework context) and creates an ObjectContextServiceProvider. Else, it creates a ReflectionServiceProvider.

if (typeof(ObjectContext).IsAssignableFrom(c))

{

provider = new ObjectContextServiceProvider(c);

}

else

{

provider = new ReflectionServiceProvider(c);

}

In order for a data service to be updatable, one of the following must exist:

The service context implements IUpdatable, or
The related WebDataServiceProvider implements IUpdatable.

The ADO.Net Entity Framework's ObjectContext does not implement IUpdatable, but its ObjectContextServiceProvider does, so building a Data Service with an ObjectContext gives you an update support out of the box. Using LINQ to SQL with a DataContext on the other hand, results in using the ReflectionServiceProvider that has no built in support for IUpdatable operations, and it relies on the data service context to implement it.

Conclusion

Using ADO.Net Entity Framework as the service data context gives you update support for free. If you are using LINQ to SQL, you can implement IUpdatable yourself, as Mike has done here. I think that the product team should consider adding a DataContextServiceProvider class that uses the LINQ to SQL DataContext capabilities for updating the store.
