I just posted the source code of the demo applications I used in my MIX09 talk “Working across the client continuum”.

The source code is structured as follows:

• DotNetContinuum: This solution contains the following projects:
  • DotNetContinuum: a WCF service configured with 2 endpoints (SOAP and JSON), as well as 3 client applications:
  • DotNetContinuum.Mvc: An ASP.NET MVC application showing a “pure” ASP.NET MVC application enhanced with AJAX content. See the following files
    • HomeController.cs (in Controllers): Contains the “ServerDateTime” action.
    • ServerDateTime.aspx (in Views/Home): Contains the view code for ServerDateTime.
    • Index.aspx (in Views/Home): Start page for the MVC application, contains the links to ServerDateTime, as well as the AJAX code.
    • Silverlight.html: Start page for the Silverlight application.
  • DotNetContinuum.SL: A Silverlight application connecting to the WCF service in an asynchronous way. See the following files:
    • Page.xaml: Front end with a very simple UI.
    • Page.xaml.cs: Code behind with the code to connect to the WCF service.
  • DotNetContinuum.Wpf: A WPF application connecting to the WCF service in an asynchronous way. See the following files:
    • Window.xaml: Front end with a very simple UI.
    • Window.xaml.cs: Code behind with the code to connect to the WCF service.
• Customers: This solution is a WCF service reading a list of customers from an XML file and delivering them as a list of Customer objects.
  • CustomerAccess.cs: Contains the LINQ to XML code used to read and write the XML file.
  • Customer.cs: The class used to pass information between the service and the client.
  • CustomerService.svc.cs: The service implementation.
  • Customers.xml: The “data base” of customers
  • Note also that there is a unit test project in the solution, used to unit test the WCF service.
• CustomersApplication: This solution contains client applications for the Customers WCF service.
  • CustomersApplication.Mvc: An ASP.NET MVC and AJAX client.
    • HomeController.cs: Contains the “ShowCustomers” action.
    • ShowCustomers.aspx: Contains a mix of ASP.NET MVC and AJAX code to interact with the WCF service.
    • Silverlight.html: Start page for the Silverlight application.
  • CustomersApplication.SL: The Silverlight application connecting to the WCF service and showing the list of customers.
  • CustomersApplication.WPF: Same application, implemented in WPF.

The last applications (CustomersApplication.SL and CustomersApplication.WPF) are implemented using the MVVM pattern, and share a maximum of code.

As soon as I have a moment, I will post a walkthrough of my demos. In the mean time, you can catch the Powerpoint slides and the talk’s video from the MIX09 session page.

Have fun!!
