  • Great Features for MVVM Friendly Objects Part 0: Favor Composition Over Inheritance

    0 comments  /  posted by  Silverlight Show  on  Jun 17, 2010 (4 days ago)
    This article by Damon Payne is the first part in a series about useful MVVM friendly features for your data objects and favoring composition over inheritance.

    Even if you’re using a framework like RIA Services, one of the first design decisions you’ll run into when building a new Silverlight application is how to represent your data on the client.  Above and beyond implementing change notification (INotifyPropertyChanged for bindings) there may be several other features you need such as Undo support, dirty tracking, dependent properties, and validation.  I’m going to show you how to do support these features in a plug-and-play style.



  • Dynamic Layout and Transitions in Expression Blend 4

    0 comments  /  posted by  Silverlight Show  on  Mar 29, 2010 (2 months ago)
    This amazing blog post of Kenny Young is a companion to the “Dynamic Layout and Transitions” demo app that has been placed in the Expression Gallery.

    In Expression Blend, we’ve been thinking for a loooong time about how to make it ever easier to create great animated visual effects quickly on top of the Silverlight and WPF runtimes. We’ve been looking at large-scale animation needs since Blend 2 SP1 and steadily building features to address those needs, and we think we’ve reached critical mass. With Blend 4, we have a compelling set of technologies that work very well together.

    In this blog post Jeff Prosise talks about one of the more obscure features introduced in Silverlight 3 - the {RelativeSource} markup extension.

     It's poorer than its counterpart in WPF because the Silverlight version supports only two modes: Self and TemplatedParent. There are precious few examples out there demonstrating why you'd ever need {RelativeSource} in Silverlight. Here's one example.

    When working on some projects and articles in Expression Blend 3, Timmy Kokke noticed a few differences with Blend 2. Now he posts 9 improvements and new features that he really likes and enjoys.

    One feature I would like to mention is intellisense. When working on smaller projects, you do not have to leave Blend to edit some code. It can be done right in Blend now, which becomes very handy when dealing with events for example. Intellisense even works when editing Xaml files.
