Agenda

Silverlight as a platform for business apps Building business apps with Silverlight 2 A Sneak Peak of what comes next

Common Business App Needs

Rich UI experiences Need an interactive UI model for working with data

Internet application deployment Need a pure web deployment

Application logic Need a highly productive dev experience

Silverlight 2 Lays the Foundation Huge step forward from SL 1

Rectangles -> Buttons JavaScript -> C#/VB

Enables business applications today Has the needed platform building blocks Core – CLR, BCL, XML, Networking UI – Core controls, control model, layout, styling, databinding

Lays the foundation for what comes next

Microsoft Confidential

What platform for your business app?

ASP.NET•Broadest reach•Most mature dev platform

Silverlight

•Broad reach•Rich, Interactive UI

WPF•Richest, Interactive UI•Offline •Desktop integration

Richness

Reach

Choice of platform based on richness vs. reach Goal: Parity in developer productivity

What makes a business app tick?

Business apps are almost universally about working with data in some shape or form.

At it’s a heart, a business app needs: A way to move data between tiers A way to shape data (sort, filter, etc..) A way to bind & display data A way to soundly apply business logic

What I'd Like to Add Next

Updateable data Validation Data paging Server side filtering Authentication More fully featured UI

Ex. Less trivial pages, more pages Business Logic

All possible… but that would be work!

CSLA .NET framework CSLA .NET for Silverlight enables the creation of a rich

object-oriented business layer running on the Silverlight client, that can transparently communicate with CSLA .NET objects running on the web and application servers

all the benefits of CSLA .NET on Silverlight, including data binding, validation, business rules, authorization, n-level undo and persistence.
