Silverlight with Einar Ingebrigtsen from Objectware

Today was another interesting NNUG (Norwegian .Net User Group) meeting where Einar presented Silverlight 2 in two separate sessions.

The first session covered more how easy it is to get a nice look and feel, together with some nice animations. During this presentation Einar used both Visual Studion 2008 and Expression Blend 2.5, and demonstrated how well they work together.

The second session was more technical and went into using WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) to have the Silverlight application communicate with the server. This session was very code driven and that was great about it. He demonstrated how to create the WCF service using a Visual Studio file template, I don’t know the exact name for it, but similar to creating a new class he created a new Silverlight WCF services, and how to consume it in the WCF code. Btw there is nothing special about a Silverlight WCF services except that it is using the BasicHTTPBinding
