Microsoft Silverlight 4 Using Visual Studio 2010 - Level 2
Duration:
2 Days
Course Overview:
Silverlight 4.0 makes it possible for developers to create rich, interactive applications delivered through a Web browser to nearly any client operating system, including Windows, Mac, and Linux. This course moves beyond basics of creating and hosting Silverlight applications, working through more advanced controls, more graphic issues (including shapes, geometries, brushes, transforms, and animations), and through deploying Silverlight applications.
Objectives:
In this course, students will:
- Investigate more of the built-in controls
- Learn to create and use shapes and geometries and the powerful Path element
- Create brushes and transforms
- Deploy Silverlight applications
- Work with Expression Blend 4
- Add animation techniques
- Work with the DataGrid control
- Add networking support to applications
Prerequisites:
This course assumes that students have some programming background and experience using Visual Studio 2010. This course assumes knowledge of a CLS language (Visual Basic), of the .NET Framework, and the current (or a prior) version of Visual Studio.
