How is mx:DataService in LCDS different from Flash Builder 4 DCD data features?


LCDS Data Management via <mx:DataService> (only available with fds.swc from LCDS) can do pagination and data sync, but FlashBuilder 4 + Flex4 can do them as well! See the following Flex4 + FlashBuilder 4 tutorials:

How do these 2 data management features differ in LCDS vs FB4+Flex4 specifically? Are there anything LCDS Data Management can do that Flex4+FB4 Data Management can't?

Are these features in FB4 client-side data management?

Thanks!

    To quickly answer your question :

    LCDS can provide Conflict Resolution. Client-Side cannot. LCDS can provide real-time grid updates, Client-side cannot.
