Hi All,

I have a strange problem at the moment ,

We are writing a toolkit to allow us to easily use nhibernate as the data layer for CSLA. and we have come across an issue when consuming that collection within Silverlight 5

Where  the size of a collection of objects  grows massively if we try and save,

for example the collection I am using contains 4000 items and approx 10 fields for each item when loading this object into silverlight fiddler reports the size of the data as 750,000 bytes, however when I then edit  one property of one object from 5  to 6 and save the data size passed back to the server is now of 3.5 Meg,

I have tried a number of collections and they report the same thing , Now is this normal in silverlight and csla I have to admit never noticing it in a number of previous projects we have written.

Also what is the best way to capture the data before it gets binary encrypted and zipped so I can try and see what the difference between the 2 collections are,

If I override the OnDeserialized call the objects look the same, It seems to be addeding extra fluff that is then stripped out again

Any help would be appreciated


Cheers

Daniel

That doesn't sound normal and would probably require looking at your BO to determine the cause.

Would the DynamicListBase<T> be a better options for handling edits for your large collection?  Then your updates would be for just the items that changed.

You should also consider:

Loading that many objets fr the purpose of a single or few edits in the list may not be an optimal solution as CSLA will send the entire list back to the server even when only one/a few items has been modified.
