Silverlight UI: Programming Exercise

by

February 6, 2010

There is a lot of talk on the web regarding Silverlight as a replacement for InfoPath in SharePoint implementations. In order to investigate the relative ease of implementation this simple Sudoku application was created in Silverlight 3 using Expression Blend and Visual Studio 2010. Four days were required with the bulk of that time consumed in a learning curve for XAML and the new development suite. Judging from the time required to generate the application EAC is now firmly in the camp that Silverlight will (should be) the most common implementation for SharePoint web parts in the future. No forms server required and Cloud (BPOS) friendly.

Note that the application can be installed locally through the context menu. EAC will be exploiting this feature in a new Expense Report application for SharePoint Online.

SharePoint Access Services will Re-Shape Application Development in 2010

by

December 17, 2009

With the upcoming release of SharePoint 2010 and Access 2010 the barrier to complex application development in the SharePoint platform will be simplified to point and click. Do you remember the days when an access DB could satisfy departmental solution needs? Those days are returning in 2010 and carry significant advantages to those who opt for SharePoint Online.

Simply building out application and complex reporting in Microsoft Access 2010 will yield the ability to “release” the data model, forms, etc… into SharePoint at the click of a mouse. Stay tuned for your IT costs to be reduced!

Below is an excerpt for the Access 2010 online help entry regarding “Web Databases” (aka SharePoint Applications):

Build a database to share on the Web

 You can use Access Services, a new component of SharePoint, to build web database applications. This helps you:

  • Secure and manage access to your data
  • Share data throughout an organization, or over the Internet
  • Create database applications that don’t require Access to use

This article provides an overview of how Access Services works, and introduces you to web database design. For an introduction to desktop databse design, see the article Database design basics.
