That will allow our response to be useful for others who are having similar questions.

Thanks,
Jimmy

To save you a million words, can you show us in video, how a UI form is created at design time? Intersoft has always been famous for creating eye catching UIs, now show us how we do that with xLight?
Thanks!

Another very important subject is the membership and security. As you know, MSFT has redeveloped a new membership that is based on OWIN platform that allows ASP WebForm, MVC, WebAPI, SignalR and other clients like iOS and Android to use thus new membership. Unlike the old WebForm Membership that you couldn’t use with other clients.
So, my question is, does xLight support this new membership at the client side and if so, how much built-in features are in xLight, so developers can take advantage to know how to authenticate user, give permission based on roles and disable features and etc.

I have not seen any info on te security and Authentication.
Thanks!

About data, we have a comprehensive roadmap on it for October updates. We cannot reveal much details on it for now, but we’ll definitely make it right. Stay tuned.

Cheers,

Nicholas Lie

As Crosslight is extensible in nature, yes, you can use third party components in conjunction with Crosslight. You can even build your own view buliders for your own custom controls, create your own presenters and services, for example, to extend Crosslight’s functionality together with the metadata feature.

Cheers,

Nicholas Lie

Second question; As you know more and more third parties are developing components for Xamarin framework http://components.xamarin.com/
My question is (based on the last blog answer that components in xLlight are based on Metdata and not direct components used), can we use third party components in xLight? i.e. a component that automates taking pictures and provides nice API?

Thanks!
..Ben

Very impressive client side features (love the visibility bindings). A while back I had asked Jimmy, how XLight as a “Client” get to consume data from from server(s) and he he comment, “We provide end-to-end solution”. No fancy client is complete without a robust middle tier and back-end setup.
So, could you please cover how xLight work with back-end services and how the client side’s models have a full understanding of the back-end object graph?
Thank you in advance!
..Ben
