WebORB Beta 3 is released (includes Flex Data Services and RemoteObject for .NET)

We just released WebORB 2.1 Beta 3. The release includes support for Flex Data Services and RemoteObject for .NET. FDS support allows all basic CRUD operations against a .NET data source.

What can you do with Beta3:

• Retrieve all or some data records from a data source (database, files, custom data collections)
• Page through the data without writing any code (WebORB does paging)
• Create, delete and update data in the original data source using the mx.data.DataService API
• Deploy new services using the standard flex-remoting-service.xml configuration file
• Deploy new data destination using the standard flex-data-service.xml configuration file
• Throw application-level errors from a .NET code and catch them on the client side

One other important change in Beta 3 is it now used the .NET 2.0 installer.

Unfortunately, as with the previous betas, there is no documentation describing Flex integration, so there will be a set of tutorials describing the integration published to our website.
