I got this DomainService method I'm calling from my SL ViewModel using the Invoke attribute: [Invoke] public ServiceModel.Recipy GetRecipyById(int recipyId) { return new Recipy { RecipyId = 1, Name = "test", Description = "desc", Author =...
I often see web applications where a program is basically some javascript objects wrapping DOM objects. These JS objects perform all model, controller, and view functionality. This seems ok to me with older style web applications where there really wasn't much model or controller functionality, but in newer more interactive application...
Is there a c++ framework for building rich desktop applications? Essentially the important feature I'm looking for similar to Flex4 MXML to separate the visual presentation and application logic into xml. Does Qt4, for example, allow the visual appearance to be specified in xml definition? This is state based, so on events the UI change...
In creating a RIA, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each approach? ...
Hi Stack Overflow! I've seen a few questions asked here about Adobe AIR, although an overall viability review is hard to find (both here and on Google). Some questions that could contribute to such a review: Is Adobe AIR the best cross-OS-compatible, browser-less runtime for RIAs? What are drawbacks unique to AIR? What are positives...
Sometimes I see web based software that is designed using some slick javascript windows which try to emulate the Windows desktop experience (draggable windows and a start menu). Are there any free frameworks like this available? ...

I have recently been browsing frameworks such as JavaScriptMVC, qooxdoo, Sproutcore and others alike which are using javascript to create desktop-like apps in the browser with minimal, or none css/html (depending on the framework). What I know of titanium is that it uses html/css for the views, and language of choice (javascript, ruby,p...
I have a project that is based on semantic networks (i.e. triple stores), reasoning / recommendation engines and interactive visualisation (not just displaying the network, but manipulating the visual elements of the displayed network). The delivery is to be as a Rich Internet Application, delivered through a web browser. At this stage...
I'd like to play with Java/Flx and build RIA with Java as backend and Flex as frontend and if it would be necessary mayby some website (i don't know which framework right now, probably Spring + some Jquery) But at the begining i'd like to know which technologies should i use. Now i'm ASP.NET (MVC2) + WPF and a bit Silverlight programmer...
Can someone list with references / evidences if possible, why we don't see much AJAX in secure web applications like internet banking? eg. Internet banking has a list of tabs for Accounts, Payments, Tools, Reports. Normally you'd see these implemented as links to different pages. Why couldn't you just have one page and use AJAX to load ...
I'm looking for a solution to a problem I've encountered using RIA and XSD. The main problem is that the XSD schema generates a Hierarchical entity type with no relations to its children ( because the relationship is implicit from XML) the problem that I've encountered is that RIA handles Relational Entity objects and there is no way to...
Hi guys, We're starting new project and we need 100% width (100% height is a bonus :)), 3 column, pure CSS layout for business RIA. We checked out YAML, YUI, Blueprint and couple of others but seems that none offers or guarantees 100% compatibility with all major browsers. Which one is the best for this purpose from your experience? ...
I'm looking into creating a Rich Internet Application. For the interface, I want something smooth, fast, and robust. I realize there are several technologies out there to do just that (Flex, standard HTML/Javascript, Silverlight). After using Grooveshark, I am very impressed with its interface (written in Flex). Personally, I don't thi...
I need to develop a visual front end for a web app that will be based on Java code. The communication between the front end and the core app will be handled by ActiveMQ. Now, considering my experience with RIA is very limited, I was wondering if some of the RIA frameworks offers the ability to manage dynamic window creation. For example...
I realize that this question can start a discussion but that's really not my intention. We've created a Flex Application to take tests from candidates. The advantage of the Flex Application is that all state can be stored in the application running in the browser of the client. Things like time limits, navigation, scoring, ... can all be...
There's clearly a bunch of new stuff in Flash 10, I'm seeing a bunch in the Graphics class so far. Struggling a bit to reconcile it with what I know already but it looks useful - render lists and 3D transforms, etc - however I wondered if there are good arguments for targeting Flash 9 since I can definitely manage without all the new stu...
Hi, I have read a range of articles on advantages/disadvantages of Microsoft Silverlight framework in comparisson to Flash. Fact that there were two version of Silverlight in the past 18 months worries me, as well as the fact that over 97% of web browsers already have Flash pre-installed. I'm a .NET developer and I'm very happy with ...
