Uwe Habermann and Venelina Jordanova are presenting a free one-day "VFP to Silverlight" workshop on Monday, October 18, the day after Southwest Fox ends. This workshop has the following sessions:

Silverlight Business Application

Venelina Jordanova, Uwe Habermann

This session, part of the VFP to Silverlight post-conference workshop, gives a short introduction into Silverlight and Visual Studio 2010. What is Silverlight? What can we do with it? Why do we need it? During this session we will develop a Silverlight business application without any programming. A data model and a domain service will be generated. A Silverlight client will be created with base functionality. Then, at the server site, a VFP COM server will be used to access VFP and SQL Server databases. This VFP COM server will also contain business logic. The application will run over the Internet or in Intranets.

VFX - Silverlight Wizard

Venelina Jordanova, Uwe Habermann

The next version of Visual Extend will come with a wizard that allows the migration of forms and reports from existing VFX and VFP applications to Silverlight. Code parts will be moved to a VFP COM server. A prepared VFX application will be migrated to Silverlight. At the end attendees will have a running Silverlight application which accesses a database simultaneously with a VFX application. This session is part of the VFP to Silverlight post-conference workshop.

Migration of VFP Applications to Silverlight

Venelina Jordanova, Uwe Habermann

How can existing VFP controls or even forms be redesigned in Silverlight? Which properties are available in Silverlight? How do Silverlight controls behave? We will show ways how to create Silverlight user interfaces that are similar to existing VFP user interfaces, including MDI forms. This session is part of the VFP to Silverlight post-conference workshop.

More Features and Silverlight Desktop Applications

Venelina Jordanova, Uwe Habermann

Attendees of this session, which is part of the VFP to Silverlight post-conference workshop, will create a Silverlight desktop application that communicates with a VFP COM server. The COM server will implement the data access as well as the business logic. We will discuss the settings that are required to enable a Silverlight application to run out of the browser. New in Silverlight 4 is the print engine. Attendees will create a XAML report which runs in a Silverlight application.
