Webcast Follow-up - CreateFromXAML

Today's Webcast focused on factoring out repeated creation of objects in XAML (and their manipulation in the code behind) by creating objects dynamically using CreateFromXaml (This will be available for viewing as soon as the recording is processed).

The webcast began by showing this application, that uses animation to display changes in data over time.

It then explored the problems with this approach and offered a solution as shown in this video.

During the course of the webcast I mentioned a number of postings that you may want to read:

Thanks again.

You did an awesome job today Jesse.

Something a lot of ASP.NET developers may be wondering...

Looking down the road will we be returning this sort of dynamic data, XML with Linq perhaps, without the need for Javascript in Silverlight?

Thanks. ;-)

Thank you, very much appreciated.  Looking down the road (e.g., Silverlight 2) you find that accessing data will be much easier, filled with options, will allow you to use managed code and will blow your doors off.

With that,  I'd have to check on what we've said publicly before I say any more :-)
