Developing for a multitude of clients, Part 4(www.silverlightshow.net)

submitted by KMillerr(2072) 2 months, 7 days ago

Welcome to the fourth part of this article series on strategies for designing your application for a multitude of different clients. In the first part, we’ve looked into the business case & some general concerns, and in the second part, we made a choice for a service layer: WCF RIA Services. In the third part, we’ve seen how we can use MEF for on demand loading & code reuse across different clients. However, I left out a few things in that article: loading the Views on demand (as it requires extensions to the Silverlight Navigation framework to navigate to Views in an assembly that’s loaded on demand), and loading multiple assemblies on demand (as we need an async component loader for that, to ensure we can load these assemblies at the same time instead of one by one). This article will deal with these two concerns. read more...

Working with Prism 4 Part 3: Composite Command and Pub/Sub Events(www.silverlightshow.net)

submitted by KMillerr(2072) 4 months, 3 days ago

In this article, you will see how to define multiple modules that can communicate with each other through a combination of CompositeCommands and Prism events. CompositeCommands let you have handlers registered or unregistered in a loosely coupled fashion, and allows you to have multiple handlers (child commands) that will be used by the CompositeCommand. Prism events are for situations that are not necessarily an action->reaction kind of set up where enablement and disablement is needed. You simply define the event type with its strongly typed payload and then subscribe or publish by obtaining the event reference through the EventAggregator. Both of these mechanisms give you a really powerful combination for having loosely coupled communications between composite parts of your application. read more...

A Silverlight menu for Sharepoint - Part 2(www.silverlightshow.net)

submitted by KMillerr(2072) 5 months, 27 days ago

In the first part of the article I introduced the matter, i.e. adding a Silverlight menu in Sharepoint. The first solution presented, defined as “the client approach”, has a major defect: it cannot be used for anonymous-enabled sites. In this second part we will see another way (that I called the “server approach”) in order to build a Silverlight menu for Sharepoint that can be used also by anonymous users. To make this new approach clearer I will introduce another few general concepts regarding the Sharepoint platform. read more...
