Visual Basic QuickStarts and How-to Topics for the Composite Application Guidance for WPF and Silverlight

Published 25 March 09 11:05 AM

I just popped a headline onto the Visual Basic Developer Center (which also appears on the VS start page for all of us that have selected the VB development settings :-)) about the release of Visual Basic QuickStarts and How-to Topics for the Composite Application Guidance for WPF and Silverlight (formerly known as "Prism"). Cool, more things to play with!

Here's an excerpt from the download page:

The Composite Application Guidance for WPF and Silverlight is designed to help you more easily build enterprise-level Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Silverlight client applications. It will help you design and build enterprise-level composite WPF client applications—composite applications use loosely coupled, independently evolvable pieces that work together in the overall application.

This download includes QuickStarts, the Composite Application Library, and documentation. This download is provided to help the Visual Basic developer use the Composite Application Library. The documentation includes:

  • Visual Basic Content for Composite Application Guidance for WPF and Silverlight - February 2009.chm: The QuickStarts, Hands-On Labs, and How-to Topics in Visual Basic.
  • Composite Application Guidance for WPF and Silverlight - February 2009.chm: Complete documentation in C#.
  • Composite Application Library Reference February 2009.chm: Library reference API.

You can post your feedback on www.codeplex.com/prism.

Enjoy!

Beth,

I enjoy your stuff immensely.

You mention "(which also appears on the VS start page for all of us that have selected the VB development settings :-))".

I've been through VS Tools/Options and can't see how to set the start page!
