Damn, that sound’s so easy if you think about it.

Hello Rob,

Thanks for your feedback.

I believe we can see more things to be done when Silverlight is getting more mature. Thanks to Microsoft Silverlight team, we have also managed to overcome hundreds of issues and limitations in the development itself. As the result, we will be able to release WebAqua 2.0 (with full design time + databinding + templating) in next couple of weeks.

Regards,
Jimmy.

As an application developer of desktop tools and utilities for financial services, until now, I have always had to support two paths to development: the browser-based web interface for widely distributed easy access tools, and the desktop application for the high-power user that requires zero-latency in moving between screens and doing work. In some instances we’ve had to develop the same functionality twice; once for the browser, and again for the desktop win-forms application. And we’ve had the limitation that our desktop applications will only run on Windows. This all goes away with Silverlight!

Now, with Silverlight, every tool can be a high-powered user interface, we need only support one thread of application development, Silverlight, and our tools will run on any machine that has the .NET plug-in – not just Windows XP or Vista.

As a professional developer I tend to loathe drag-and-drop and/or data access that is set up for me with just one line of code. I prefer writing my own helper class with, yes, maybe ten or twenty or even fifty lines of code to manage the host data relationship. I write it once, use it everyplace, and get exactly what I need for the application to enable a secure, hassle-free user experience.

What I expect to license from a vendor, for Silverlight, are robust components for menus, tool bars, a grid, drop-down combo, and charting – complete with drag-and-drop capability and hierarchical display. I can do the rest.
