Register for this webinar
Building enterprise applications with Silverlight almost begs for rich data binding features. While Silverlight 2 already had an extended set of features available to enable data binding, Silverlight 3 and 4 add on these and extend the databinding platform. In this webinar, we’ll start with a complete overview of the data binding features Silverlight 4 has to offer. We’ll take a look at how data binding is the enabler for applying the MVVM (ViewModel) pattern and commanding as well. Finally, we’ll open Blend and see its support for data binding, including the use of design-time data.
Main topics to be covered:
- Data binding explained
- Binding single elements and collections
- The importance of INotifyPropertyChanged and INotifyPropertyChanged
- Binding modes
- Silverlight 4 BindingBase properties
- Validation, IDataErrorInfo and INotifyDataErrorInfo
- Data binding as the enabler for MVVM and commanding
- Binding from Blend 4
- Using design-time data features
