Blaine,

We were using WCSF for some things, but have moved to Silverlight for web content because it allows us to use a common shared-library codebase. We are very interested in WCSF's future because we would like to have a truly "thin" client solution. To be honest, we've moved all of our development toward a scenario where web-apps can be developed using Silverlight, Prism and MEF and thick clients can be developed using CompositeWPF, Prism, and MEF and deployed using ClickOnce. The only reason we're not wringing our hands over the architectural disparity between WCSF and CompositeWPF is that we typically develop Intranet applications and have control of the destination machine. This makes Silverlight particularly appealing. We try to develop LOB apps that can be reused across projects..for example, an app that is developed to manage employee information will be built so that the interface can be abstract and then the "employee" component can be reused in any other LOB application that needs to interact with an "employee". In this example, one LOB application may have a "thick client" user interface requirements, while another [tangential] application may have a "thn-client" user interface requirement. Currently, we're satisfying the latter by developing for Silverlight 2. Someday, we expect that we will need to have a "thinner client [i.e. web]" requirement and we would hope that one day we would be able to target WCSF, Unity, and MEF for this....and in particular, the ability to host the WCSF "app" in a SharePoint friendly/aware way.

I would find it helpful for there to be an interim release delivered as soon as possible whose only feature would be to replace ObjectBuilder with Unity.

Thanks!

My personal pain points

philosophil — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 21:03:08 GMT

Personally, I'd like the next version to:

- work with 2010

- work with Unity

- work with the latest version of EntLib

- work with sharepoint

Not on your list:

- auto data bubbling

Suppose I have a page that knows that you should display product X, then all child controls that need product X should be able to access it fully initialized and ready to use.

The above is kind of easy, it gets tricky when you deal with repeaters and list of items.

In short it's dependency injection but for data and not just run-time components.

Thanks for the good work by the way.
