Question

I am using Dataform to show a object in my Silverlight application. It is a simple Input page which where you can input value and the SAVE button at the bottom submits the information to the database.

My object contains 7 data fields, out of which I need to show only 5 of them. The other two data fields are added in the database directly.

My silverlight application communicates to the database via WCF services.

So, the question is can I filter data fields on the dataform?

Answer 1

If you are Auto-generating the DataForm, you can use

[Display(AutoGenerateField=false)]
public string SomeProperty {get;set;}

This attribute was previously called Bindable in the SL3 beta, and has since changed in the RTM release. More info here
