Avalon Adventures Part 0
Part 0 - The Setup
Early this week I decided to give the new Avalon CTP a whirl.
Earlier this year I created a semi-functional application using WinForms. This application was basically a view over the northwind database that comes with lots of Microsoft products like SQL Server, Visual FoxPro and Access.
Being a data guy I decided I wanted to see how Avalon works with data. I deciced to take the small prototype I use to demo WinForms features and convert it to Avalon. To say the least it was interesting.
In the next couple of posts I am going to show you how I did this.
The sample code for this application can be found in the download section of my website www.dashpoint.com
Before we begin I want to throw some props to Chris and Chris (Anderson and Sells) for helping get me going with this. Also to Arik Cohen and David Jenni for sending me a roadmap and some demo code to help. I loved getting an e-mail from David at 7:45pm at night with a bunch of sample code.
