Silverlight 4 European Hosting :: Silverlight Report Software 101

clock April 9, 2010 05:42 by author Scott

There are so many report software currently available in the market which are operating under the platform of Microsoft Silverlight. This article is a simple guide on such reporting tools.

Before we give out the list on what the reporting tools are under the Silverlight platform is, it is a must that this program should be defined first. To start with, Silverlight has a framework for a web application program which has been developed by Microsoft. Its functionalities are similar to that of Adobe Flash which is to combine graphics, multimedia, interactivity, and animations into just one runtime environment.

Initially, Silverlight was released into the public as a plug-in for video streaming. But later versions of the application included other features for interactivity as well as a support for programming languages such as .NET. Aside from these two, the new version is allowed to configure and use its development tools. This new version was released last July 9, 2009 and is called the Microsoft Silverlight 3.0.

The Silverlight application program can go well together with several web browser products which are used with the operating systems of Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows. Aside from these operating systems, mobile devices which start with the Symbian or Series 60 and Windows Mobile 7 phones have a high tendency that they will be supported by the program by 2010.

There are free software programs which have been implemented. This program has been called Moonlight and has been developed by Microsoft in its partnership with Novell. Because of the partnership of these two big companies, they have been able to produce compatible functionality to the FreeBSD, Linux and the other platforms which are open source.

The applications by Silverlight can be written through the use of any programming language under .NET. With regards to this, the program can used any development tools with .NET languages which are compatible with Silverlight. The only provision of such compatibility is that such languages can target hosts such as Silverlight CoreCLR instead of using the CLR framework of .NET.

In order to design UI Silverlight applications of versions 1.0 and 2, Microsoft has placed versions 2 and 2 SP1 of Microsoft Expression Blend respectively. Aside from this, Visual Studio 2008 is also possible to be used in developing and debugging applications by Silverlight. So that Silverlight projects can be created and let the CoreCLR be targeted by the compiler, Silverlight Tools for Visual Studio is required by Visual Studio 2008.

One Silverlight project includes the CreateSilverlight.js and Silverlight.js files which are initialized by the programs plug-in to be used as the UIs XAML file, in HTML files, and in the applications code-behind files. The debugging procedure of any Silverlight application is the same as with applications by ASP.NET. The feature called CLR Remote Cross Platform Debugging by Visual Studio can also be utilized in order to debug applications of Silverlight while are operating on different platforms. Along with Silverlight 2s release, an additional development tool option has been added and is called Eclipse.

Now that the program has been defined, here are some of the tools which can be used in report functions of Silverlight: FPS Icons Pack 1.0.49, Silverlight Files Uploader, DevForce Silverlight, Control System Works, Optimal Report Generator, Inventory Bookkeeping Software, and so many more.

Silverlight 4 European Hosting :: Building a Presentation Framework with Prism for Silverlight

clock April 5, 2010 07:14 by author Scott

We build a lot of line of business applications and in the process there are always certain aspects we have to tackle that we like to call the presentation framework collectively. Common aspects of a presentation framework are (not a conclusive list, but a good start)

- transitions from screen to screen
- showing progress when busy
- loading and/or hiding screens
- destroying and/or hiding screens
- getting data from web services
- mapping models for the UI specifically
- validaton
- including a default button (enter key submission)
- tracking changes
- can a screen be navigated away?
- communications between screens and their colleagues

We could go on and on. And none of these items are out of the ordinary … many applications have to face these same issues. We have been working on a version of a presentation framework that uses Silverlight, MVVM and Prism (and Unity) that will be published through the Prism team later this year. We are putting together the code samples and demonstrations now to show how to reap the benefits of the presentation framework, Prism, MVVM and Unity all in the context of building Silverlight 3 LOB applications. So keep an eye out for that article series…

The overall goal is to handle many of the presentational aspects of LOB UI’s (see bullet list above). So what are these players in my framework? Here is a brief description of the players and what they do.

- Screen
A screen in this context is the class that handles coordinates (or directs) the Model, View and ViewModel (the MVVM triads). A screen is a logical place to coordinate the marrying of a View to a ViewModel too. This way the VIew knows not about the VM and the VM knows not about the V. It must implement the IScreen interface. There will be screens in the modules of the Prism based modular application and there will most certainly be many screen instances (ProductScreen, EmployeeScreen, etc).

- IScreen
An interface that all screens will implement that helps with things like CanLeave and CleanUp. This interface is the means by which the other framework items can talk to screens. We put this in my infrastructure project since it generic and not app specific.

- Screen Factory
The screen factory instances go hand in hand with a Screen implementation in each module (1 Screen Factory for 1 Screen). The screen factory is in charge of creating the screen and hydrating what it needs. It implements the IScreenFacotry interface, which has a CreateScreen method. The ScreenFactory classes are registered with the presentation framework (with the ScreenFactoryRegistry singleton class) so the ScreenConductor can crank them up when needed.

- IScreen Factory
All ScreenFactory instances implement this interface and its CreateScreen method. The other presentaiton framework talks to the ScreenFactory classes through this interface. This goes in the infrastructure project.

- ScreenFactoryRegistry
The ScreenFactoryRegistry contains a registry of all of the screen factory classes (using the IScreenFactory interface). As modules are loaded, they can register their ScreenFactory classes with the ScreenFactoryRegistry. This does not “new them up” but instead puts them in a registry so they can be accessed later as needed and on demand. Of course, this requires that someone (the individual modules) register the ScreenFactory classes. The modules are ideal for this since they know which they will need. This class has GetFactory, HasFactory, a ScreenFactoryDictionary and an assortment of helper methods. This is also in infrastructure and is a singleton class created through Unity.

- Screen Conductor
The ScreenConductor class is the grand poobah in the presentation framework. It coordinates the loading and destroying of screens. It subscribes to published events through the event aggregator in Prism and is told which screens to load. The Screen Conductor knows about the registry, so it looks up the proper screen factory in the registry and starts the hydration process. A lot of the mechanics happen down here including visibility services, popping screens into regions, loading subjects for screens, deciding to hide or destroy a screen (activate or load as well), and so on. It is the brains. This is also in infrastructure and is a singleton class created through Unity.

- Screen Collection
The ScreenConductor class has a ScreenCollection class which contains all of the activated screen instances. The collection is maintained by the screen conductor.

- Subject
The subject is something that is specific to a screen and helps the screen gain its context. For example, the subject could be the information that the screen needs to load itself with employee “John Smith”. Or the subject can be empty, in which case the screen is blank.

While this is not a conclusive list nor is it very detailed, we will be explaining how all of these classes work together in a Silverlight/MVVM/Prism in our upcoming article series. In the meantime, we will blog about some of the progress as we go, listen to suggestions, and when we are done we plan on doing some videos to follow up the article series too. Keep in mind that this is one man’s opinion of how the framework will evolve. We have used some fairly common concepts and tried to stick with some of the same naming conventions others have gone with because we want this to be something that is easier to adopt.
