Decoupled Communication: This webcast demonstrates how to communicate between the different modules.What is Prism v2? Watch this video. Bob Brumfield and Erwin van der Valk are both Software Development Engineers at Microsoft patterns & practices and have both worked on the Prism V2 project. en Sat, 25 May 2013 23:07:33 GMT Sat, 25 May 2013 23:07:33 GMT Rev9 Re: Creating a modular application using Prism v2 - Screencast 4/4 : Decoupled Communication

i really like to see some demos involving prism and MAF /MEF

ive got an application that needs to load various versions of the same ui at diffrent times (its an app that does measurements and the measurement needs to be isolated and can be of diffrent versions)
prism seems like a really good base for this but i really need to be able to unload the modules Smiley

i should also note that we do use appdomains and use that to unload old measurements, what we really need to do now is that, but with ui.. i think it can be done but id really like to have a webcast sample Smiley

I have used the Smart Client Software Factory/CAB before.  In there they had some interesting authorization stuff using "Actions".  Is there any thing like that in Prism?  It would be great to see a screencast on that or any authorization patterns that work well for Prism.

- Show modules and views being injected at runtime (i.e. click a toolbar button to load a new tab, etc.)

- Load common areas with toolbar buttons or menu items at runtime (to simulate the UIExtensionSites that are in CAB/SCSF)

- Dynamically loading modules

I'm sure I'll think of a few more as soon as I hit the "Add" comment button Wink

Thanks Again!

I think it strikes a good balance between in-depth and background info while still being comprehensible and consumable. I wish the series would continue into some of the more advanced topics of prism and silverlight.

emcpadden, JohannesH:  Thanks for the suggestions, we're trying to create a backlog of things we'd like to have video on so as we have time, we can pick them off in some sensible order.

Did you guys had a look at Framworks such as Nikhil Kothari  (http://www.nikhilk.net/Entry.aspx?id=198) and Silverlight FX ?
With the RegionManager, how can you design a good pattern to create a Routing pattern for multipages ?
Keep on doing your videos, they are absolulty amazing

However, im wondering if anyone have a good solution to the following problem / enhancement:

When the user clicks on the search button i want to change the cursor to waiting / time glass and when the search is actually finished, make sure that the cursor is changed back to the default "arrow".  This problem i guess also could be extended to a bigger challenge, how to show to the user of progress of a operation, e.g a download progress with procentage indicator.

Considering best practices, to always indicate the end user of progress or in this case to prevent the user to click multiple times when a search is ongoing i guess it can not only be me wondering of these things, or what?

Dont we need a reference to the window to set the cursor in such a case?

Any solution or start of discussion appreciated!!!

Really help me to begin to understand the basic concepts of Prism.

 

Of course in Silverlight 3 we don't need to use that Title property of the SearchViewModel for binding the search command parameter with the TextBox text. We can now use element to element binding directly. Cool!

So , using the command parameter is not needing for this example? If I understand correctly, we can now bind the text of the TextBox to the property in the ViewModel and we just use the value of the property in the handler of the command. Is that right?

 

 

 

I also have a question for those more familiar with Prism than me:

 

How can I bind a command to the TextChanged event of a TextBox? (instead of the Click of a Button, which is illustrated in the video)

Thanks.

It'd be nice to see how to architect the database access, popular data to a xaml form, xaml form data validation, web services reusability etc... in the near future.
