What is Prism?


Prism is a framework or the set of guidelines which is used to develop  Composite or Complex applications specific to WPF, Silverlight or Windows Phone.
 
It's a kind of Design Pattern to develop XAML based applications.  Prism mainly helps to design the Loosely Coupled components which can be easily integrated with other components of the application. It uses modularity and allows to break application into pieces can be called as Modules.
 
Prism uses design patterns like MVVM, Command Pattern, Dependency Injection (DI) and Inversion of Control (IoC) and Separation of Concerns to achieve Loosely Coupling.
Prism has the following advantages over other frameworks.
Reusability, Extensibility, Flexibility, Team Collaboration, Fault Tolerance, Maintainability and Modularity.

Prism has 5 main components:
1) Shell: Template that Defines structure of the UI. Shell can contains several regions.
2) Regions: Regions are used to specify specific portion of shell as elements to inject view at runtime.
3) Modules: These are major functional areas of the application. Each module need to be independent of other.
4) Views: Modules contains number of views. Usually, We implement MVVM pattern in views component.
5) Bootstrapper: This component is responsible for Creating Shell and initializing application.


To use the Prism in our application, we need to use the library called as Prism Library.

Large Volume of Dataset Transfer from WCF to Silverlight

Most of the times the developers, architects have the problem to retrieve large volume of data from WCF Service to Silverlight client applications. It’s a big head ache for developers. But it’s not up to that much problematic one. We can solve this problem by changing some property’s values in Web.config of WCF Service host, Silverlight application’s ServiceReference.clientconfig and Silverlight XAP hosted ASP.Net Applications. Here I’m going to explain the Web.config changes we need to retrieve large volume of data from WCF Service and also uploading large size of files to the Server. Last week, I was trying to figure out why my WCF service call always threw the generic NotFound exception when trying to retrieve large datasets. Even though, I set buffer limits to 2147483647 (int.MaxValue) in the Silverlight ServiceReferences.ClientConfig file and WCF Service configuration Section under web.config the problem was persisting. I tried so many things from Data Access Layer and UI. Finall...

Virtual machines vs. Containers

One of the questions that often comes up to anybody who's in the cloud space is, what are the differences between virtual machines and container? When should use one versus the other? Unfortunately the answer is not so simple clear-cut. We can't say you should always use containers or always use virtual machines. But, there are some things to keep in mind. There are certain kinds of applications which benefit from running in containers or using micro services in general. Microservices means taking an application and decomposing it into smaller parts. This is really good if you need to build a web scale application and you need to have the ability to turn up different dials of performance somewhat independent of each other. For example, take the middleware piece or the front end or the database piece and you need to scale them individually. The other benefit of containers is a consistency between the development environment and the production environment where you can take thing...
