However, these business also want to leverage the existing investments they have made to date. In this session, we will learn about changes in Windows 8.1 Update to allow businesses to build new mobile LOB applications without having to re-write their entire app from scratch.
could i reuse the wpf xaml codes???
if not, no help for me
Same here.
Sorry, I don't know anything about XAML or UI development. I'd suggest checking out the Desktop Development Panel talk: https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2014/2-563
Key takeaway:
Side-loaded Windows Runtime apps may now communicate with other processes running on the system.
-- Use network loopback for inter-process communication.
@AndrewDover: ... but silly restrictions and barriers to side loading will prevent this awesomeness from being utilized as a migration path for most desktop applications
Brilliant.
You can't straight reuse XAML, but you can get up to the View Model level. You can probably create a new screen in the mobile platform then copy over the inner contents and change the small parts you need to.
FYI, links to all the sample code - including the NorthwindRT demo from the keynote - are up on my blog: http://devhawk.net/2014/04/04/enterprise-winrt-apps-build-roundup/
Silverlight contained a Messaging API for instances of your app to talk, couldn't they have re-used that?
Else SingalR for .NET or something indeed could be used via the local-loopback
