Developing for a multitude of clients, Part 4

Thu, 22 Mar 2012 06:13:23 GMT

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.

Working with Prism 4 Part 3: Composite Command and Pub/Sub Events

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:19:50 GMT

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.
