Data binding in its traditional sense means associating some underlying data with one or more user interface elements. The data provides the information to display. The user interface elements render the information in the appropriate format.“Longhorn” extends the traditional idea of data binding in a number of ways. You can bind a property of a user interface element to a property of any common language runtime (CLR) object, or to an attribute of an XML node.
There are also a variety of subjects covered in this month’s featured .NET Curriculum. The curriculum materials contain presentation slides, lab exercises, and examples. You may use, edit, copy, reproduce, and distribute any portions of these materials within your university.
here in germany they teach java for one reason only. it is available on all mainstream operating systems. i’m not a zealot to whatever system, i would just say: give everyone what they want. heck, i even learned to like solaris in university
I need to learn more about Data Binding because my .NET project sum up to 50 000 lines code and I never used!
Hi
”
Now Longhorn has an interesting concept, where you run the program within the browser itself. If Microsoft does that, and if the technology is mostly useful when windows on the server is used, well then we can say goodbye to servers too”
how would running programs in a browser affect servers. can you eloborate on that.

Hi
“Some linux idiots said Longhorn is hype and you keep posting about hype. Shame on you. ”
why do you have to talk about linux in a longhorn related posting as the first thing you do on discussion forum. cut the slack. you are inviting a unnecessary flamefest

i involved in both java .net development last year in a telecom company. .net is better than java in many ways. to me the company is abit pro-MS the whole development is based on .net while java only for small portion of cross platform support.
i do java simply because 1. im a linux user 2. java is cross platform.
frankly i will never try .net on non ms platform. one patent issue(or lawsuit or whatever from MS) is enough to halt non ms .net activity. one to turn them all…
…the data-binding model in Avalon (Longhorn’s UI composition engine) is really awesome. You use it for awhile, then try to go back to something else and it leaves you baffled as to why its not as intuitive. I suppose its natural, though, given that Microsoft, building from the ground up, can take all the innovative techonologies and research and incorporate them into Longhorn willy nilly. Must be fun.
agreed, Longhorn is 2 years away and data binding is not a spectacular aspect of Longhorn. Such articles might me interesting for people who actually have to develop for Longhorn. Most people won’t be able to because Avalon is not supported on Windows 2000/XP. On the other side a few articles more are better than a few articles less.
Hi
“On the other side a few articles more are better than a few articles less.”
A good indepth article is much better than a thousand small articles
But she hates facts so she will moderate down this post.
I won’t read this site anymore as the owner prefers to live in an alternate world, far far away from reality.
