What is everyone using for thier presentation layer?
-
I have been doing asp.net (and ajax) for a while. While I have taken the time to learn 3.5, WCF and LINQ. I have not invested any energy in learning the new presentation tools. I am just curious if the rest of you have and if so what you are using. Anyone think I am missing out and that I should move away from ASP.Net? Do you use any of the following? ASP.Net (including AJAX) Win Forms WPF SilverLight Other.
I didn't get any requirements for the signature
Winforms, ASP.NET, and PHP. Of course I find the other layers more important than presentation so I spend most of my time there, making sure they are right and treat the presentation as interchangeable and unimportant.

Win32 controls (MFC), custom-rendered controls (MFC), custom-rendered controls (raw Win32), custom-rendered controls (OpenGL), HTML, HTML+JS, XSLT+HTML+JS, Sharpie-on-wall, WinForms (mostly still Win32).

You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.
ditto... err... I use the same. :-D

The one thing that I've found cumbersome with the standard quick and dirty web services tools is that they don't really support object graphs, but just straight object trees. Are you running into these kinds of issues too?
Wout
No, no issues of that sort. I guess I'm not familiar with the terms object graphs and object trees either. Our WCF service just gets LINQ objects, serializes them to an xml string, and hands them to Flex, and then the reverse. It works tremendously well.

Yeah, once you run into it you'll know! An object graph is e.g. this: instance A references instance B, but instance C also references instance B. So B is shared by A and C. So now it's not a nice tree anymore, and XML is suited best for trees. So to handle graphs, you need to give an ID to each object so you can reference them from other places.

I see. :wtf: That does sound like a bitch. Oh wait a minute, yeah I guess there is a similar issue with serializing LINQ objects to xml. In order for it to work right, you have to set up your associations between your LINQ objects correctly, otherwise you get circular references and the object's can't be serialized. It's easy to set up though.

Yeah, to do any kind of object graphs, also circular references should be possible. The neatest thing that just works without any issues: plain old .NET serialization. I was just curious how to handle it properly in the web services world.

Yeah you're right. That is what we are using .NET Serialization. Particularly the XmlSerializer object. LINQ and WCF are both .NET 3.x technologies.

I recently did a quick foray into Silverlight because I want to write a web front-end to Interacx. I guess I found it frustrating, but I didn't spend a lot of time on it. Instead, I ended up opting to use Telerik's Ajax ASP.NET controls. Telerik also has a pre-release available of some Silverlight stuff, but it's too early still, though I will look at it later when it (and Silverlight) matures more. I guess part of my decision to stick with ASP.NET is that it's a lot more comprehensive. Otherwise, for WinForm stuff, I typically use MyXaml and standard WinForm controls, although I have licenses for both DevExpress and Infragistics if I need something truly fancy. Marc

Today, I used the Console and MFC. The several daysy, I used nothing--the app had no presentation layer (unless you count the log file) and I was working on library code.

I have been bugging my boss to get me the Telerik AJAX controls and they finally agreed. They are just super. I can't even describe how good they are compared to the ajax toolkit that I was using...

asp.net 2.0, ajax, and xsl are my daily grind. I like to do some WinMobile and Win Forms in my "free" time though. Ive played around with wpf(gesture recognition and the likes) and it was pretty impressively easy to get going. I've recently installed Blend and Ive been playing around with the storyboard recording and it's a lot of fun. I haven't found the best way to have the same project open in VS and blend w/o minor issues.. but it's nice to be able to quickly make a snazzy ui with animations/transformations and then be able write the backend very similar to how I would a winform/asp.net app. You just cant beat code reusability!
