1. Silverlight 4frameworks, patternsMike TaultyMicrosoft Ltd@[email protected]://mtaulty.com

2. capabilitiesneed to know some or all of this depending on what you’re building

3. beyond capabilities*lots of other Silverlight frameworks, libraries, patterns out there – sorry if I missed your favorite

4. where are we?ASP.NET Client Application ServicesWCF Data ServicesWCF RIA Servicesnavigationsearchextensible applications with MEF

5. ASP.NET Client App ServicesASP.NET services available to Silverlight clientsASP.NETmembershiprolesprofilesno specific client libraries here, just add a reference and make the call

6. enough hot air, do a demoASP.NET Services from Silverlight

8. RESTful services (in general)HTTP RequestURLResourcesVERBRes 1GETPayloadRes 2POSTPUTRes 3XMLJSONDELETERes 4XMLJSONHTTP ResponseStatusPayload

17. WCF RIA ServicesWCF RIA Services (fka .NET RIA Services)You’re building an applicationYou’re responsible for both server and client deep in business logic and semanticsWCF Data Services (fka “Astoria”)You’re exposing/acquiring dataYou control one side or the other, not bothCRUD among arbitrary producers / consumers logic and semantics are invisibleNB: Slide stolen from Brad Abrams

21. navigationPageFrame displays a PagePage<UserControl> <Frame Source=“authors.xaml”/>authors.xamlnavigation between pagescall Frame.Navigate() or set the Source propertyor use a HyperlinkButton ( NavigateUri/TargetName )navigation historycall Frame.[Can]Go[Back()/Forward()]books.xaml

22. navigationPageFrame displays a PagePage<UserControl> <Frame Source=“authors.xaml”/>authors.xamlnavigation can integrate with the browserenables hyperlinking into Silverlight contentrequires a browser!requires a hidden iframe on the hosting pagefor top levelFrames not nested framesbooks.xaml

24. enough hot air, do a demoNavigation Framework in Silverlight 4

26. searchsearch engines visiting a page with Silverlightread robots.txt and sitemapread/index the page titleread/index the <meta name=“description”/>read/index the surrounding HTML( if any )will not read XAP or dynamic Silverlight contentapproachalternate content in the <object/> tagfor both search engines & down-level clients

27. enough hot air, do a demooffering alternate content to searchnote – I stole this demo, it comes from the WCF RIA Services Code Gallery and is called “Silverlight Store”

28. WCF RIA ServicesSearch Engine Optimization for MS SilverlightTo learn more about SEO go to Brad Abrams’ talkWednesday 12.00Lagoon B( check 2 B sure )

30. extensible applications with MEFthe Managed Extensibility Framework“an extensible framework for composing applications from a set of loosely-coupled parts discovered and evolving at run-time“ (mike)versions.NET Framework shipping with Silverlight 4 .NET Framework 4 shipping with VS 2010Silverlight 3 & .NET Framework V3.5 Sp1 ( from source on CodePlex )

31. essential MEFimport(e.gDebuggerVisualizer)export(e.gDebuggerVisualizer)Component(e.g. Visual Studio)Component(e.g. XML Visualizer)MEF Composition EngineMEF discovers exports via catalogsseveral “in box” catalogs plus many extensibility pointssupports available exports changing at runtimeand/or can be handed component instances

35. where are we?ASP.NET Client Application ServicesWCF Data ServicesWCF RIA Servicesnavigation & searchextensible applications with MEFModel View ViewModel (MVVM)

36. why MVVM?ViewSilverlight clientwebdata

37. why MVVM?needs to be designable“where does the DisplayDetail flag go?” Data/ServiceLayerView(e.g. Person Master/Details)Model(e.g. PeopleModel)CodeXAMLPersonBusinessLayerViewmodelneeds to be testable and maintainableSilverlight client

38. why MVVM?Open to techniques likedependency injection,mocking to aid testabilityViewModel is the View’sDataContext.Bind to data, commandsViewModelDesigners & DesignTools like XAML somaximize its useView(e.g. Person Master/Details)bridges the gapModel(e.g. PeopleModel/Person)XAMLCodeHard to test thiscode without UI so minimize/removepure “Data”pure “Display”

39. commandsICommandseparates UI from functionalityNo ICommand implementation in Silverlight 4 but some controls make use of ICommandNo need for the Button to be aware of the code that handles this Command

40. triggers, actions, behaviorsBlend team’s simple concepts -> powerful resultsattach/detach yourself to/fromany DependencyObjectTrigger = START SOMETHINGAction == DO SOMETHINGBehavior == GET OUT OF JAIL FREE

41. triggers, actions, behaviorsIn the Blend SDKMicrosoft.Expressions.Interactions.dllSystem.Windows.Interactivity.dllOn CodePlex(expressionblend.codeplex.com)Expression.Samples.Interactivity.dlland lots more out theree.g. Expression GalleryActionsTriggersBehavorsKeyTrigger
