WPF Performance

My world actually *is* your world because we're going to silverlight / wpf and html5 jQuery with specific front ends for full browsers and specific phone and tablet browsers. Before March 2012. Almost entirely by myself. Just working on the backend right now.

Pfft back end is easy stuff, build the database (presumably already there) and use your code generator to produce the WCF. Wiring up the different UIs on the other hand should be a challenge. No more 3d rendering for you in the near future!

I know the front end is more time consuming but generating code off a database? This is no throw away project, this is a complete re-write of an existing commercial off the shelf software used world wide. The back end is very complex and coded entirely by hand with very sophisticated business rules and ... well I could go on and on. Suffice to say I'm not generating any code at all. I would almost say I never will generate code but maybe some day they will invent code generation that is actually useful for something.

Ah we live in different worlds after all, I write inhouse corporate software these days, a whole lot easier than writing commercial grade stuff. All the CRUD work in the WCF is built by a code generator (mine), the models are nearly all based on the underlying tables/views so the WCF only needs hand coding for the stored procs. There is almost no business logic in the WCF, it resides in the VM or the stored procs. I haven't worked on a single app/suite for years at a time since the 90s, we churn out small solutions every 2-3 months meeting specific requirements (limited).

Egads, I know what you mean. It's somewhere in the lower-middle of all lists. Sometimes you have to press N six times, other times 7. I'd rather have auto-complete and just type the abbreviation. Do you have a better design in mind, though? I don't... Maps are too difficult to design well, usually.
The two letters typed in. The keyboard on desktop no problem, and not bad on most mobile devices. Most people know their country code and state abbreviation. Could validate against known state codes and/or expand in adjacent field.
