WPF Business Object Declarative Programming: How To Implement Object Validation & Logging
Brand new MVP and WPF, VB, and Mole for VS guru Karl Shifflett has posted another great article and Silverlight video for his continuing WPF Business Application Series. This one covers Business Object Declarative Programming; How To Implement Object Validation & Logging. You can find the in-depth article and video on Code Project. (Karl also has a WPF Sample Series on his blog, and posts several WPF Sample Applications each month.)
Here Karl covers declarative programming in the business layer, in nice detail and broken down into digestible chunks. This library allows for codeless validation of business object, codeless character text case correction and entity log entry creation. His Silverlight video demonstrates the features of the UI.
After reading and watching, you’ll quickly be able to validate business entity objects and report in a unified manner all form exceptions and entity broken validation rules. Karl again shows some of WPF's potential for writing great business applications.
