Hi Guys,

I've managed to put together another demo based on Chandima Cumaranatunges minimalist example found here:

http://www.as3dp.com/2007/12/27/minimalist-mvc-example-using-the-puremvc-framework/

You can try my silverlight version here: (You may have to give silverlight focus first)

http://puremvc.mattbrailsford.com/minimalistdemo/

And download the source here:

Many thanks

Hi Guys,

I've downloaded the source both as a zip and from the svn repo but neither seem to compile due to a missing file PureMVC.snk

I've currently had to un-sign my solution to get it to compile.

Could you please either add the file to the repo? or provide the relevant instructions on the wiki?

Many thanks

Matt

Hi guys,

Is there any reason why the as3 naming convention isn't followed anymore?

I thought the idea was to make ports as similar as possible so it's easy for people to cross polinate?

Many thanks

Matt

Hi Guys,

I'm working on a project where i need to build a basic drawing book application. It is basically made up of a series of pages that a user can flick between (kinda like a pdf) but also have the ability to draw on each page with a series of different tools (pen, line, rectangle, oval, text).

There will also need to be the functionality to zoom in out out aswell as pan the zoomed page.

Could someone help with the best way to architect this?

Many thanks

Matt

Hi Guys,

I've done a lot of flash work in the past (all actionscript starting from flash 4 to date), and currently do quite a lot of .NET work (hence the C# port of the framework) however i am desperate to get into Flex.

I've dabbled every now and then, but am yet to really crack it. I have a specific project i need to work on and would like to ask if there is anybody who would be willing to be a bit of a mentor to get me up to scratch.

I'm hopefully looking for someone who knows a lot about Flex and PureMVC and doesn't mind answering a few ongoing questions via email, msn or skype.

If anyone is interested, please drop me a line.

Cheers

Matt

Ok guys, this is the first sample running of the C# PureMVC port using silverlight.

I've pretty much just done a port of the Flex / WebORB demo so you can use it to get an idea of the differences.

One thing to note though is the imaturity of silverlight. At this point in time there are no input controls, so i have used some simple controls created by the guys at www.vectorlight.net

You can access the demo at http://www.mattbrailsford.com/PureMVCLoginDemo (You will need to Silverlight 1.1 plugin)

Source code will be available shortly.

Going through the AS3 implementation, Cliff has made a concious decision no to use some datatypes so as not to tie down the implementation.

When it comes to silverlight and .NET though, the core datatypes are not as flexible as their AS3 counterparts (ie Arrays require a size and can't be indexed by name)

So to what degree should we implement the .NET datatype? We could use relitivley low level ones such as ArrayList and Hastable? or go the whole hog and use Generic collections which gives type safety?

Any thoughts?

Matt

Well i've made a start on porting this over to Silverlight / C# and have narrowed down the problems.

One of these issues is the implementation of the Observer pattern.

Could / should this be done using delegates? or should we have use the Observer class and use reflection (which delegates seems to do anyway) to keep it generic?

What do you think?

Matt
