I want to be able to bind to this datasource without the view needing to know that there is an additional parameter (unless he cares). Is this possible to do?
[Query]
public IQueryable<Product> GetProduct(int productID, bool someAdditionalStuff = false)
{
return _someProvider.GetProduct(productID, someAdditionalStuff);
}
<DomainDataSource
ID="ProductDataSource"
runat="server"
QueryName="GetProduct"
EnableDelete="false" EnableInsert="false" EnableUpdate="false">
<QueryParameters>
<asp:Parameter Name="ProductID" Type="Int32" DefaultValue="-1" />
</QueryParameters>
</DomainDataSource>
I haven't found any way to use optional parameters in a WCF RIA domain service at all. They compile fine on the server-side code, but the generated code that makes it over to the client side contains the parameters as non-optional, as such all of the client code that wants to use the default for the optional parameter fails to compile.
