Windows Apps make use of .NET Core, but there is a big difference with web apps and ASP.NET Core. Windows apps run only on the Windows platform, on Windows 10. The users can use these apps not only for the desktop, but also for Xbox, HoloLens, and Raspberry PI. This chapter first explains how to create a new Windows App with Visual Studio 2017. It then talks about the hierarchy of controls and user interface (UI) classes with Windows Apps. Knowing these makes it easier to work with the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) controls, where the users also know what they can do with these types. The UI is defined using eXtensible Application Markup Language (XAML), a language that extends eXtensible Markup Language (XML) with some functionality. XAML uses dependency properties for data binding, animations, property change notification, and styling. The chapter further looks at an example that defines a few dependency properties.

Network Communication

January 2009

Jeff Scanlon

So far, you have explored Silverlight via XAML and seen how to create basic user interfaces. The next piece of the Silverlight picture is the support it provides for communication with network services. The network communication classes in Silverlight provide the capability to send/receive data over either HTTP or raw sockets. This chapter and the next two (on data and media) are closely related. ... [Show full abstract] The next chapter, which covers consuming data, will utilize communication techniques to retrieve data before consuming it, such as using web service calls to retrieve data from a database or direct download over HTTP to get syndication feeds and other XML documents. In Chapter 6, you’ll utilize techniques from this chapter to retrieve video and other media from a server, and then show how to utilize the media. This chapter lays the groundwork for the coming chapters, so let’s jump right in!

Web Parts at Work: Healthcare Provider's Dashboard

Two technological breakthroughs seem to get an edge in providing a completely new type of user experience for Web applications: the first one is the family of Web Parts controls, and the second one consists of the set of technologies generally known as AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML). This paper elaborates on the development experience related to the creation of a customizable and dynamic ... [Show full abstract] Healthcare Provider's Dashboard. This is a custom application used to display and manage important information and tasks associated with a healthcare provider. The main objective of the project was to fit as much information as possible into the interface, while making the pages customizable and dynamic such that each user would be able to customize the interface to his/her own liking. Web Parts, available in ASP.NET 2.0 within Visual Studio 2005, have been identified as the right tool to achieve this kind of functionality.
