hdc09 Session 111
October 22nd, 2009
Last Friday I had the privilege of presenting at hdc09. My talk was about .NET RIA Services. Topics included:
- Professional Look and Feel
- Rich Data Query
- Validating Data Update
- Authentication
- Different Views
You can download the slide deck and demo code here.
The download contains the following:
- hdc09.111.pptx. This is the slide deck from the presentation.
- ReadMe.txt. These are the directions for running the demo code. Read them! Seriously, read them! I’ll wait…
- SimpleEmployee.sql. This script creates the SimpleEmployee table in the AdventureWorks database I used as the data source for the demo.
- EmployeeManager. This is the application I built during the session.
- templates. These are the business application templates I downloaded from gallery.expression.microsoft.com.
To run the demo code you must have the following items installed:
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 SP1
- Microsoft Silverlight 3
- SQL Server 2008 Express
- .NET RIA Services July 2009 Preview
- The 2008 AdventureWorks database
- Like I said above, before you can run the demo you’ll need to read the ReadMe.txt file included in the archive. Once again, I’ll wait…OK, so if you don’t read it, here’s what you need to know:
- After you install the 2008 AdventureWorks database you’ll need to run the SimpleEmployee.sql script. This will create the SimpleEmployee table and populate it with data.
- You will need to update the connection strings in the web.config file in the EmployeeManager.Web project.
- If you were unable to attend the session or would like to see it again, I’ve recorded a screencast for your viewing pleasure. You can view the screencast via the Simple Silverlight Media Player below, or you can download the .wmv file here.
