NHibernate and Domain Driven Design Update

ejadib — Sat, 16 Dec 2006 22:51:31 +0000

A month ago, I posted about a series of articles written By Ben Scheirman. (You can read it here)

Well, now, Ben wrote a comment in that post and say me that he has already written the part 8.

A Journey with Domain Driven Design (and NHibernate) – Part 8

Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) – Hello World :)

ejadib — Thu, 14 Dec 2006 21:17:41 +0000

Hello, I’m going to write a series of articles about WPF.

This only pretend to be an introduction. I’m learning WPF as you, so feedback is welcome.

First of all, if you want to start with WPF, you must install .NET Framework 3.0 RTM and the WCF & WPF Extensions for .NET Framework 3.0 (At this moment, the last release is November 2006 CTP).

Then, you have to create a new Windows Application (WPF)

Now we have a file Window1.xaml

Replace the code with this:

<Window x:Class=”EjemplosBlog.Window1″
    xmlns=”http://schemas.microsoft.com
           /winfx/2006/xaml/presentation”
    xmlns:x=”http://schemas.microsoft.com
           /winfx/2006/xaml”
    Title=”BlogSamples”
    Height=”300″
    Width=”300″>
    <Grid>
      <Button Name=”btnHelloWorld”
              Click=”btnHelloWorld_Click”
              Height=”54″
              Margin=”5,5,117,0″
              VerticalAlignment=”Top”>
       Hello World
      Button>
    Grid>
Window>

A quickly review:

btnHelloWorld is the Id/Name of the button
btnHelloWorld_Click is the name event Click

Also, add this code to the code behind (Window1.xaml.cs)

void btnHelloWorld_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
btnHelloWorld.Content = “From Ezequiel
Jadib Blog”;
}

And we are ready to launch our application

I hope this is useful. Later I will post, about how we can do it the same with Triggers.

From ADO.NET’s Blog:

“To aid brainstorming and to better understand typical developer scenarios, the ADO.NET team created an internal prototype of a designer to let developers model the ADO.NET vNext “Conceptual” layer.
The designer in this CTP is an early prototype and only supports designing the “Conceptual” layer. The designer can also generate an Entity Data Model with 1:1 mappings from an existing database that you can use right away in your application while also graphically visualizing the “Conceptual” layer”
