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...

Node.js for Everything

Lots of web applications using Javascript for front end for a long time. Javascript enabling people to build really really interactive great products, we can use Javascript on the front end and on the back end. So, what do we do on the back end? Node.js is the answer.

Node offers pm2 package to easy your job. It's modern CLI process manager for Node apps with a builtin load-balancer. npm install pm2@latest -g pm2 start app.js Next thing is running applications continuously. Yeah, we've a node package named forever. It's a simple CLI tool for ensuring that a given node script runs continuously. npm install forever -g forever start app.js Enabling debugging in Javascript client applications are easy. Debugging a node application is sometimes a black box sometimes not, but one of the ...
