PRISM-Video Series

Although I plan to write my own articles about  the topic, however this time I am in  some sort of hurry to get started with development, so i am relying on Microsoft resources to get me(and of-course you) started.

PRSM, as you will find across the web, is nothing more than guidelines for developing modular applications(Component based appications).
This in simple terms, means creating loosely coupled applications that follow SOLID principles laid down in Microsoft patterns and practices book.

PRISM relies on  Unity framework (downloadable from codeplex).
Details about the installation and sample code, quickstarts are a part of the download.

Briefly , PRISM (via UNITY) requires the code to have the following Components and their Co-ordinated efforts results in Modular application
1. Bootstrapper
2. Shell
3. Regions
4. Modules
5. Views

This Simple diagram depicts how they interact with each-other or rather how they should actaully interact.
in the diagram IOC = Inversion of Control

Theoretically this looks good,
Now lets go through these videos(9 parts) to better understand PRISM.
Part 1


Part 2-Dependency  Injection with Unity


 Part 3-Modularity with Prism



Part 4-Unity BootStrapper



Part 5-Moving to Modular Silverlight Project



Part-6-Shells, Regions, Views


Part-7-Commands



Part 8-Loosely Coupled Events



Part 9-Sharing Data with Region Contexts



Disclaimer: These videos are a part of channel 9 video tutorials by Microsoft and has been used here  with the sole intention of knowledge sharing.




Hope this tutorial is useful...
Till next time we connect...
Happy Learning.

Asp.Net 4.0: An Overview-Part-III

This is the last post in the series which will explore the following new features of ASP.Net 4.0  Performance Monitoring for Individual Applications in a Single Worker Process Web.config File Refactoring Permanently Redirecting a Page Expanding the Range of Allowable URLs Performance Monitoring for Individual Applications in a Single Worker Process It is a common practice to host multiple ASP.NET applications in a single worker process, In order to increase the number of Web sites that can be hosted on a single server. This practice results in difficulties for server administrators to identify an individual application that is experiencing problems. ASP.NET 4 introduces new resource-monitoring functionality introduced by the CLR. To enable this functionality, following XML configuration snippet is added to the aspnet.config configuration file.(This file is located in the directory where the .NET Framework is installed ) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"

WCF-REST Services-Part-II

HOW REST is implemented in WCF Part-I of the series explored the REST conceptually and this post will explore how REST is implemented in WCF. For REST implementation in WCF, 2 new attributes namely WebGetAttribute and WebInvokeAttribute are introduced in WCF along with a URI template mechanism that enables you to declare the URI and verb to which each method is going to respond. The infrastructure comes in the form of a binding ( WebHttpBinding ) and a behavior ( WebHttpBehavior ) that provide the correct networking stack for using REST. Also, there is some hosting infrastructure help from a custom Service¬Host ( WebServiceHost ) and a ServiceHostFactory ( WebServiceHostFactory ). How WCF Routes messages WCF routes network messages to methods on instances of the classes defined as implementations of the service. Default behavior ( Dispatching ) for WCF is to do this routing based on the concept of action. For this dispatching to work, an action needs to be present in ev

SOLID principles -Code Samples and Free Ebook

I planned to write code samples for SOLID principle implementations, however I am a firm believer of " NOT RE-INVENTING THE WHEEL ", when all you need is use the wheels and make a new CAR. Going by the ideology, I have found an excellent  SOLID principles FREE -Ebook ( covering all aspects of SOLID design principles, with Code sample). This book is an excellent visual aid to remember these principles, as it uses Motivational posters for explaining SOLID design principles. One additional advantage to the above mentioned book is the Code-Refactoring ebook . Both of these books can be downloaded from this EBOOK download Link Both of these books can be downloaded form here. Hope this book proves useful... Till next we connect.... Happy Learning..
