Get the source for Building Silverlight Line of Business Application With CSLA

Get the source for Silverlight 4 Unleashed

If you have questions, comments, or concerns feel free to speak your mind.  See you next year.

I will be presenting two sessions:

Building Silverlight LOB Applications using CSLA – 10:45 am in the Hatch D.

Are you building a LOB Silverlight application and need data binding, validation, business rules, authorization, n-level undo and persistence? Then CSLA may be a solution for you. Come learn how to use CSLA to build line of business applications in Silverlight.

Silverlight Unleashed – 4:30 pm in the Hatch C.

Come see the real power of Silverlight 4. Want to know how to access a webcam, or how about acquiring an image from a scanner or camera. Want to drop files from your desktop into your Silverlight application? Let’s get really creative and have your Silverlight 4 application talk to you on demand by accessing the Text To Speech API. For you LOB developers, I will show you how to interop with Microsoft Office to send emails or have Excel update data in your Silverlight application.

If you plan to attend, be sure to stop by and say hello.

I would appreciate if you could leave some feedback to let me know how I did and where I could improve.

I will be giving a presentation on WPF called “WPF for Dummies”. This will be an introduction to WPF development and is intended for beginners. This session will focus on the basic usage of WPF to create applications. No spinning buttons, no fancy animations, and no image zooming. Just the basics.

What we'll cover:

• About XAML
• Managing Layout
• Controls
• Data Binding
• Styles and Templates

No matter what your flavor, there is probably a session, or sessions, for you.  So go register and hope to see you there.
