  • Silverlight 4 vs Flex 4: Accessing the Clipboard

    0 comments  /  posted by  Svetla Stoycheva  on  Feb 25, 2010 (2 months ago)

    In his blog Alex van Beek compared Flex 4 and Silverlight 4’s clipboard access abilities.

    In this post I’m comparing Flex 4 and Silverlight 4’s clipboard access abilities. My previous post was rather long, so I’ll try to keep this one short :). Accessing the clipboard should be an interesting comparison, since both Flash 10 and Silverlight 4 take different approaches. I deliberately said "Flash 10" in the previous sentence, because accessing the clipboard in a Flex application is done by using the native Flash 10 ActionScript api and there isn’t any specific Flex code required.

    Here Alex van Beek discusses printing in both Silverlight 4 and Flex 4.

    I’ve wanted to do a “Silverlight vs Flex” series for quite a while now. Both Silverlight and Flex will reach version 4 during the first quarter of this year, at least, that’s what the roadmaps say. With both reaching version 4, this seems like the perfect time to do a comparison about how to implement certain features. Silverlight has been catching up with Flex, but in Silverlight 4, there are features in Silverlight that are just not possible in Flex (COM interop / Drag and Drop from the desktop), while other features that previously were only possible in Flex, are now also available in Silverlight 4. Whether the implementation of these features in Silverlight is as mature as in Flex is what we are going to find out in this series. We’re going to start with how printing is implemented on both platforms.

  • Silverlight 4 vs Flex 4: Data Validation

    In this post, Alex van Beek takes a look at how data validation is implemented on both Silverlight and Flex.

    In this post I’m again comparing two features of Silverlight and Flex, this time we’re going to take a look at how data validation is implemented on both platforms. This will be a very interesting comparison, since Flex and Silverlight take entirely different approaches. Which one is better? I can let you know in advance that one of the two is a bit broken. Read on to find out which one.
