Database Driven Application Composition using nRoute

published 984 days, 17 minutes ago posted by

orktane 985 days, 2 hours, 41 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

orktane 1040 days, 6 hours, 32 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)

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)

Jeff Wilcox – How about a Zune-style ChildWindow?

Today I’m sharing my new ChildWindow style. It is a differentiated child window designed in that it doesn’t have a close button, has a completely different animation in and out, and I thought I was worth sharing. I’ve included a runtime app so you can run it and see for yourself.My ChildWindow style... (more)

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...

orktane 1136 days, 23 hours, 53 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..

IObservable based Messaging Broker for Silverlight

published 1195 days, 3 hours, 33 minutes ago posted by

orktane 1195 days, 10 hours, 36 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)

Rene Schulte announced a new open source project that extends Silverlight's Matrix3D struct: The Matrix3DEx library is a collection of extension and factory methods for Silverlight's Matrix3D struct. The Matrix3D struct represents a 4x4 matrix that is used in combination with the Matrix3DProjection to apply more complex semi-3D scenarios to any UIElement than are possible with the simple PlaneProjection. This makes it possible to apply arbitrary model transformation matrices and perspective matrices to S... (more)

Reverse ICommands for MVVM

published 1232 days, 4 hours, 12 minutes ago posted by

orktane 1234 days, 15 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...
