LightSwitch: Small Try Microsoft Development Framework LightSwitch

Prior to knowing that Microsoft was doing a data-driven development framework LightSwitch, it was never used. A while ago, a customer's technical director and I talked about LightSwitch, so this TechNet also went to listen to LightSwitch lectures. Back after a trial, the following to give you a brief introduction to Ligthswitch.

Download from the official website, I installed the machine itself VS2010, the installation process will go to download some files, about 80M bar.

During the installation I had a problem and wondered if you had any. My question is as follows, from the hint is not enough permissions, so I found this hidden directory on the "security" page added everyone, remember to give everyone the right to attach all:

Example: Order Build Table

UI
Run
Code generation

You can see the following files from the Run Bin directory:

View LightSwithDemo.Common.dll you can see the class library for the table

As can be seen below, this is generated by the framework code

From the production code can be seen, the class library in the sea to join the IApplication interface, I 211.html "> I think the introduction of UI and creator in the class library related content is not well designed."

At present, it can be used to write simple applications, but also relatively simple to use, but after all, is still in beta, and mature product function still has a certain gap. If it can implement all the apps I've done in the open source framework Openexpessapp, I'm definitely not going to do the framework. Very happy to see Microsoft began to do this product, I hope Microsoft will consider more business development common situation, the more perfect product.

This article mainly introduces the function, the next article I will say I to this product some ideas.
