Brad Adams talks about “Silverlight 3 for Great Business Apps”
Robert Hess has a interesting chat with Brad Adams about silverlight 3 – this is a sneak peak of Brad’s session for Mix09, without, as he calls “the super secret stuff”.
Highlights:
- We already have a couple of different App.Xaml’s you can drag in and replace to get a new design: ~5:30
- A new browser navigation system, you can control the browser back and forward buttons & the url can expose a deep link to one page within your app. ~6:00
- Exception handling: better handling, easier customisation out of the box ~8:00
- New set of controls for SL3 (“there are a ton of controls”). Grouping and paging added to DataGrid, works with sorting. Details view added~10:20
- Built in validation in a data form. This is really good, wait for some great info on this in Mix09 ~12:00
- “You can still produce a rich experience with little time to work on a project”
- Showing validation errors
- “Just the form itself is beautiful looking” – Robert Hess
- “Raise the standard for what it is to build a great data entry app” – Brad Adams
Cheers
