Database Driven Application Composition using nRoute

published 980 days, 23 hours, 7 minutes ago posted by

orktane 982 days, 1 hour, 31 minutes ago

One of my favourite feature in nRoute is SiteMaps - it is conceptually very similar to ASP.NET site maps, though with nRoute rather than just providing a navigation curriculum we can use SiteMaps to dynamically assemble parts of the application and compose the application UI at runtime. And so in this post we're going to look at one possibility, wherein the application's structure is relayed from a database backed. (more)

Square Away: A Windows Phone 7 Game using nRoute

published 1036 days, 20 hours, 48 minutes ago posted by

orktane 1037 days, 5 hours, 21 minutes ago

Continuing with my efforts to showcase how to create end-to-end applications using nRoute, this time we have a Windows Phone 7 (WP7) based board game called Square Away. It is actually one game out of a multi-game application I'm creating for WP7, and is based on the "Bubble Breaker" theme. To create the game we'll use the MVVM pattern, creating all the three triads and then use nRoute to bring together everything into one squarely game. (more)

Creating a Netflix App using nRoute again: Now in WPF

published 1043 days, 11 minutes ago posted by

orktane 1044 days, 5 hours, 46 minutes ago

Couple of days ago I published a sample app in Silverlight that fronted Netflix's oData API - well, now I've ported the same app into WPF again making use of nRoute Framework. It like before demonstrates how you can build an end-to-end application using nRoute's navigation framework, but this time nicely wrapped wrapped in a all new Metro style theme.. (more)

nRoute Samples Revisited

published 1097 days, 3 hours, 9 minutes ago posted by

orktane 1098 days, 4 hours, 44 minutes ago

Post the new of release of nRoute, I've updated and upgraded seven sample applications from earlier releases to the latest version. The samples demonstrate how you can use nRoute to compose at various levels of consumption - at the application-level using things like SiteAreas, Modules, Services etc., at the infrastructure-level using Navigation, Messaging-Channels, IoC etc. and at the UI-level using ViewModels, ViewServices, ICommands, Behaviors etc...

nRoute: Now, More Wholesome

published 1132 days, 4 hours, 20 minutes ago posted by

orktane 1133 days, 22 hours, 43 minutes ago

I'm really excited to introduce the latest version of nRoute. It's a major one, for a couple of reasons - first, this release propels nRoute to three platforms (Silverlight, WPF, WP7), two, it takes big strides in making the underlying infrastructure asynchronous, three, it significantly updates the navigation infrastructure, and four, it brings extensible Dependency Injection (DI) into play which allows top-down composition to cascade through the application..

WP7'ish v/s iPhone'ish Sudoku, Fight!

orktane 1164 days, 1 hour, 56 minutes ago

Couple of weeks ago I had created a Sudoku Game in Silverlight and dressed it up in iPhone's theme, I even posted the code on Codeplex. Yesterday with some time on my hand and WP7 expectations running high I took the same codebase and by just changing the main view's XAML in Blend, I re-dressed it in WP7's theme.. (more)

IObservable based Messaging Broker for Silverlight

published 1192 days, 2 hours, 23 minutes ago posted by

orktane 1192 days, 9 hours, 26 minutes ago

One of the challenges with modern application development is loosely-coupled communication between various independent components within an application; by and large it is not a technical problem, but one of having a common denominator and ensuring that parties to the communication don't entangle each other with dependencies. To this challenge in nRoute we have a messaging framework that decouples application-wide communication using a mediator, against which you can both publish and subscribe without cr... (more)

iPhone Sudoku in Silverlight using MVVM

orktane 1213 days, 7 hours, 3 minutes ago

In this post we will build an iPhone-styled Sudoku Game application in Silverlight using nRoute Toolkit. In terms of the architecture we will make use of MVVM design techniques in having separate Model, ViewModel, View plus related Services - and we'll piece them together in a loosely-coupled manner..

Reverse ICommands for MVVM

published 1229 days, 3 hours, 2 minutes ago posted by

orktane 1230 days, 23 hours, 5 minutes ago

One of the problems with MVVM designs is the inability of the ViewModel to singularly effect change(s) within the View; yes, you can use data-changes through data-binding as a crude-bludgeon, but I'd rather have the right tools for the right job. And that is where Reverse ICommands come in, they allow you to execute an ICommand in your ViewModel and have it trigger a set of specified action(s) in the View - the reverse taxonomy speaks to the fact that reverse ICommands targets your View rather than the V...

nRoute Resource Locator Framework: A Sample App

orktane 1233 days, 6 hours, 17 minutes ago

To demonstrate the use nRoute's Resource Locator Framework (RLF) in this post we will create a search application that uses the RLF to identify and resolve search providers at runtime. We'll also make use of Rx-framework like Observables to asynchronously gather the search results. Complete source code is also included. (more)

Introducing Silverlight Console

orktane 1239 days, 22 hours, 1 minute ago

As Silverlight grows into a more rounded and generalized platform, there is a case for Command Line Interface tooling – so here is an attempt at a relatively simple implementation of a Silverlight based Console that includes a Console Window Control and a matching set of extensible Commands Framework that allows for executable commands vocabulary.
