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: http://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
