Comment Feed for Channel 9 - Walkthrough of a Real-World LightSwitch Application used at Microsoft http://ak.channel9.msdn.com/ch9/B005/DB609011-1CE2-45C3-BC3F-9EA8014EB005/RealLightSwitch2_100_ch9.jpg Channel 9 - Walkthrough of a Real-World LightSwitch Application used at Microsoft In this video, I interview a couple of LightSwitch team members, Mike Droney (Tester) and Sheel Shah (PM), as they walk me through a real application that was built for our Admins in order to track hardware assets across the developer division. Mike and Sheel talk about the requirement gathering and development processes as well as some of the advanced features of the application. They were able to build a working prototype in no time and then used an iterative development approach to add more and more features that users wanted. LightSwitch let them concentrate on business value and user productivity and not worry about any of the plumbing required to build a modern Silverlight, n-tier application with a lot of advanced features including a generic report builder. Their application is based on LightSwitch Beta 2, which is available for the public to download today! To access the download & start learning LightSwitch please visit the LightSwitch Developer Center.  And for more LightSwitch resources please visit the LightSwitch Team Blog and ask questions in the LightSwitch Forums.  Enjoy! en Wed, 22 May 2013 12:23:16 GMT Wed, 22 May 2013 12:23:16 GMT Rev9 Re: Walkthrough of a Real-World LightSwitch Application used at Microsoft posted by rLambda Solutions

Thanks for the awesome demo.  It's great to see internal apps and the code that runs them.  When you say release as a sample, do you mean the entire app or just the custom control?

I really hope the entire application is created as a sample, the helper class for Active Directory and the Excel Column Mapper would be interesting to learn from

I'd also be interested in seeing the source.

glad you liked the video. @Chris, once the video goes into a screencast it is full size. I recommend watching the High Quality WMV (link is on the right) if you want to see the code better. BTW, I watched it on my Windows Phone 7 last night and it looked great. Smiley

As for the code, I plan on getting Sheel to upload the custom control report builder and the Excel importer as a sample. We'll be working on getting those plus a couple more full-blown apps onto the new Samples Gallery next week. I'll come back and post a link here when they are online. For now, check out the new course manager sample here: http://archive.msdn.microsoft.com/lightswitch/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=5531

Cheers,

-Beth

Looking forward to the report builder though. Looks extremely useful.

I think Lightswitch is the first real effort by Microsoft to create a tool that involves much more widespread technology. Too bad they just present it as the successor to MS Access. Well, in my opinion is much more than that. Of course I understand that is in Beta, but I also think it is good time for people like you are pronounced in the sense that it is time Microsoft brings to the service of humanity a real powerful tool both useful and very easy to use all the features required for the personal computer, an intranet, the web, in the cloud or Smartphone.
Some things that could make this tool go in that direction: Import - export data blocks with Office (Excel, Access, Outlook, Word) because until now the only option that they deserved gala is the easy export to Excel. Clarity and ease of setting a project in production in the intranet and the Web, because the current procedure is complex and the results are not always expected, although I understand why there is more information to take it to Azure. Clarity and ease in handling the security of user access - profile applications, the issue is still unclear. The task force must be acting by Lightswitch reporting will tilt, if only for connectivity or because they directly integrate Lightswitch, Report of Visual Studio, Report Builder 3, Reporting Services, Crystal report, etc.
It would be interesting to see how, with this tool, productivity in a web, can ensure that the client running the latest version of the application. Also known as the client can not access at some point to the Web, can work offline and then synchronize data with the server on the web.
