The packages updated the T4 templates in the SPA projects to generate simpler code used to generate the singe-page view.

Check it out @:

ASP.NET SPA MVC 4 (Beta update for C# projects)

https://nuget.org/packages/SinglePageApplication.CSharp

ASP.NET SPA MVC 4 (Beta update for Visual Basic projects)

https://nuget.org/packages/SinglePageApplication.VisualBasic

Single Page Application is an application patterns that data is centralized on one single page, where it can be loaded, edited and re-submited. This fits the trend of smaller apps, especially on phones and other portable devices. Please note that SPA only works with Razor as the view engine now. After clicking OK, a MVC SPA application will be created in Visual Studio 11 Beta, with Controller, Models, Views and Scripts folders inside the solution.

There is a TodoItem.cs/vb under the Models folder, which is a sample model class for scaffolding. Now if you add a new Controller (make sure to build soluiton beforehand), make the values in the Add Controller dialog look like below:

And then click Add, you'll find that a few files are added to the solution, including Controller classes and AgendaContext class. In the Views folder, some new razor files are now present under Tasks folder, allowing the page to load, edit and page the data at one single page.

After you build the solution and hit F5 to run the app at https://localhost:*****/Tasks, you may run into an error like below:

The network path was not found Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.           

Exception Details: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The network path was not found

Source Error:

This is a known issue for MVC 4 Beta on visual studio 11, as SPA is currently using EntityFramework Code First 4.1, which has a LocalDB connection issue on visual studio 11 Beta. The workaround to this issue is to manually add another connection string in web.config, using the same name of your context class (in our example: AgendaContext), something like:

<add name="AgendaContext" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)\v11.0;Initial Catalog=aspnet-MvcApplication10-20123916851;Integrated Security=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

Now if you hit F5 again, you should be able to browse to the https://localhost:*****/Tasks page, add new records, submit and load data with paging functions enabled.

WCF RIA Services v1.0 SP2 (version 4.1.61406.0) is installed out-of-box with Visual Studio 11 Beta (Professional SKU +).

By using this version of WCF RIA Services, the design time scenarios that have been supported for Visual Studio 2010 continue to work on top of Visual Studio 11, including the support for Silverlight Business Application, WCF Silverlight Class Library template, Domain Service class template and Authentication Domain Service template. The project templates will be targeting Silverlight 5 by default.

Enjoy!

Below is a list of types that are currently working with WATS Domain Service.

To solve this issue, you need to do the following steps:

   - Go to "Program and Features", manually uninstall "Microsoft Silverlight"

   - Reinstall the most recent Silverlight 4 developer runtime by clicking this link:

https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=146060

 Hope that helps!

• Install WCF RIA Services SP1 Beta for Silverlight 4
  • Install WCF RIA Services SP1 Beta for Silverlight 4 and Visual Studio 2010
  • Install the WCF RIA Services October 2010 Toolkit for WCF RIA Services SP1 Beta

What are included in these new bits:

- WCF RIA Services SP1 Beta:

• Support for complex objects
• Ability to share entity types between domain services
• ICollectionViewFactory support.
• Code generation extensibility points.
• Localized to 10 languages that Microsoft Visual Studio and Visual Web Developer support

- WCF RIA Services October 2010 Toolkit

• T4 based custom code generator
• Domain service support for Windos Azure Table Storage

If you've seen the same thing, the reason might be that you've recently uninstalled and reinstalled WCF RIA Services V1 for Visual Studio 2010.

We have a setup bug for V1 that the WCF RIA Toolkit registry keys are deleted along with the uninstall of the product (WCF RIA Services V1 for Visual Studio 2010).  Reinstall of the product itself is not going to put the registry keys back. As a result, the toolkit functionalities which include the JSON and Soap endpoints and support for LinqToSql by the wizard are gone due to the absences of the toolkit registry keys.

A temporary workaround is to uninstall the WCF RIA Services Toolkit from your machine and then install it back.

Our team has fixed this setup bug for our next release. Sorry for the inconveniences and stay tuned with WCF RIA Services!
