ASP.NET AJAX 4.0 New Features and Video Walkthrough
10-4 and Jonathan Carter just did a great episode where they walk through creating a sample with ADO.NET Data Services, and showcase some of the things that have changed since we released ASP.NET AJAX Preview 3. There's some great coverage on DataView, AdoNetDataContext (formerly AdoNetDataSource), and bindings. Jonathan also goes through command bubbling and item selection integration with master-detail DataViews. The cool thing is that Jonathan uses imperative code, as opposed to the declarative syntax that I've gone over before in my ADO.NET post. The choice is largely a preference, but both methods are perfectly valid. The video is about 27 minutes long, but is well worth it. Silverlight is required, click here for the video.

Working with ADO.NET Data Services in AJAX
If you haven't heard, we've shipped ASP.NET AJAX CodePlex Preview 3. It's live and available here. I'm really excited about this release because it includes client-side support for ADO.NET Data Services, replacing the AJAX Client Library for ADO.NET Data Services that we had on CodePlex before.
