GeekSpeak 7-14-2010: Local Messaging and Silverlight
If you haven’t noticed lately, I have been pretty quite on the blogs recently. That is mainly due to my new born baby, and a new job. Well, I have set aside some time to do a GeekSpeak webcast with Glen Gorden and Mithun Dhar.
Here is the episode description:
“A powerful feature of Microsoft Silverlight is the ability for different Silverlight controls to communicate, even with instances running out of browser. In this geekSpeak, Silverlight guru Brian Lagunas shows us the ins and outs of how to communicate between Silverlight applications by using local messaging. We’ll cover everything from multiple banner ads synchronizing animations to business applications displaying master/detail data. Brian goes over how to create complex layouts that combine multiple Silverlight-based applications with content that is based on other technologies. Join us for this unique take on Silverlight programming.”
When: Wednesday, July 14, 2010, 3:00-4:00 ET

Hey, thanks for the talk. I didn’t know this feature existed.
It’s also annoyingly limited – I really wanted a general pub/sub system, but you could probably build one of of this.

Thanks for watching. It can be limiting depending on what you are trying to do with it. For your scenario you might want to look into WCF Duplex Services.
