A colleague of mine (much smarter than me) implemented a generic workflow system that was when used by several views (Silverlight/Mobile/Web/WPF). Basically, there was just a core workflow API, with was then held by each of the areas, and they would then implement/subclass appropriate items to render the various items (next/previous buttons, rendering of content in the certain type of question/input/whatever). I think this fits into your requirements. But I know I haven't given a lot of real detail. I can't quite remember exactly how it was implemented, and I don't work there anymore, but contact me offlist perhaps and I can tell you what I remember. The point is, a global mapping sounds bad. I think a strict sort of composition-based approach seems nice, with views being based of the core workflow system and rendered in some dynamic fashion. Hope this is reasonably useful.

TFS Feedaback? Anyone moved away from it?
Hi All, I was just looking to get a little feedback on CVS tools/etc? I am to start another project with a small team, and was wondering is TFS is worth using (I haven't even seen it run yet... wondering if it is worth the time...) Also, has anyone after using TFS decided to go back to subversion/etc? If so, why? Thanks :) -- Les Hughes l...@datarev.com.au
RE: MVVM in a navigational paradigm
In Magellan a ViewModel has access to an INavigator service, which it can use
to navigate to other ViewModels or controllers. For example:
private void SaveCommandExecuted()
{
Navigator.NavigateMyController(c = c.Save(this));
}
The controller action might be:
public ActionResult Save(MyViewModel vm)
{
// Save data from vm
return Page(ThanksForSaving, new ThanksForSavingViewModel());
}
The latest Magellan release also has the ability to navigate between VM's
without using controllers at all.
I guess it comes as no surprise that my response would be WPF + navigation =
Magellan :) But if you're rolling your own you could look at that approach.
In more composite applications I use a pub/sub eventing system to navigate - it
might be:
events.Publish(new NavigateEventTViewModel(vm = vm.Initialize(x,y),
Shell-TopLeftRegion));
The navigation mechanism would subscribe to that event and figure out where to
show the corresponding view.

RE: MVVM in a navigational paradigm
Re: mapping views to view models, I like to use a convention to map view models
to views (e.g., FooViewModel should expect a .xaml file named FooPage, FooView
or FooWindow). So you shouldn't have to store the mapping explicitly.
In Magellan with just MVVM it goes something like this:
1. You tell an INavigator that you want to navigate, specifying:
o The name of the ViewModel (foo)
o Any parameters (customerID=36)
2. The INavigator maps it to a handler
3. The MVVM handler resolves the VM from the IOC container
4. The MVVM handler looks for an Initialize() method on the view mode
that takes the navigation parameters - e.g.,
public void Initialize(int customerId) {...}
5. A view is found for the ViewModel based on the conventions above
6. The view's DataContext is set to the ViewModel
The process is different if you're using MVC controllers, but not too
different. The VM also implements an IViewAware interface and is notified about
view lifetime events (e.g., activated, deactivating (closing) and deactivated).
And each step uses interfaces and strategies to make it easy to plug in to,
like ASP.NET MVC.

Re: TFS Feedaback? Anyone moved away from it?
I've used TFS on and off since about 2006 (mostly because I was working at MS, as they are fond of TFS), but haven't used TFS 2010. It's biggest strength IMO is integration - requirements, work items, bugs, builds, source code and project documentation all from within Visual Studio. It's biggest weakness is that it's not a distributed version control system (git, mercurial). If you're just going to use it as a revision control system you're missing out on 80-90% of what TFS has to offer (and thus it might not be worth it). TFS 2010 is a major update to the product (v2 really, since 2008 was really a v1.1) so I'm doubtless overlooking some cool features there 'cause I haven't used it.

RE: TFS Feedaback? Anyone moved away from it?
We're in the process of migrating from TFS 2008 to TFS 2010. I don't think we'd look at any other system now. We use the work item integration with source code control quite heavily, even though the dev team is quite small. We also use modified work item for our Change Control system, and that has worked out well too. We have even used the Sharepoint repositories a bit, though somewhat sporadically, and for a couple of projects we've even used the build server, for which I was quite grateful. Previously we had a mix of SourceSafe and CVS in use here. There is definitely an improvement in TFS2010 in terms of Work Item hierarchies, that we have been sorely missing here.

It's a question of Generics...
Just playing around with some generics, and I'm getting one bit that I'm not happy with. I thought I had this working, but I've changed something and now it doesn't. I have an interface Interface IBase(Of T, E) And a child interface Interface ILevel1 And a Class Class Level1 Implements ILevel1 Implements IBase(of string, integer) Then I have a factory with a method as such Function GetALevel(Of TLevel(Of T, E)() As IBase(Of T, E) In another class, I want to call the following Dim foo as Factory = new Factory Dim bar as foo.GetALevel(Of ILevel1)() I think that the type of T and E should be inferred from the ILevel interface. I'm sure I had this working, then a made a number of changes all around this code, then noticed it wasn't working anymore. Can anyone explain this better? Thanks Clint Colefax
Re: Why DVCS, was Re: TFS Feedaback? Anyone moved away from it?
argumentative? silky? GTFO! Most of my experience with DVCS has been with mercurial (hg) which I've used for about the last 2 years for my personal stuff. Before that I used SVN. I think the difference (from my point of view) is that hg works well in a super-set of configurations to TFS/SVN. If you were a solo developer with TFS installed locally then hg probably wouldn't be that much better (it certainly handles branching, merging and backing up more cleanly than TFS/SVN). But most people don't work that way - the server is remote. If you want to look at the 'history' for a file or do a diff it's a network operation. Checking out is a network operation (at least for TFS it is...not sure about SVN). In the case of TFS 2008 when the server was off-line work ground to a halt. With hg sometimes there _is_ no central server. I've had good experiences collaborating with other devs using hg with no central server set up, just sending patches back and forth for synchronization. You can set up your development processes such that your DVCS is fairly centralized (like things would be with TFS/SVN) - devs commit and push/pull often. Then you just get the perf wins of local disk I/O vs. network I/O and better merging capabilities. High-level summary (from my POV) - DVCS well in a super-set of configurations to old skool SVN/TFS/CVS Joseph On Thu, Nov 4, 2010 at 8:28 AM, silky michaelsli...@gmail.com wrote: On Thu, Nov 4, 2010 at 6:26 AM, Joseph Cooney joseph.coo...@gmail.com wrote: I've used TFS on and off since about 2006 (mostly because I was working at MS, as they are fond of TFS), but haven't used TFS 2010.

RE: TFS Feedaback? Anyone moved away from it?
Hi Les, I have used a few (Source safe / TFS / Borland Starteam / Subversion) in my dealings as a contractor, and have to say I am very happy with TFS. I guess it all depends on what you are after - Just source control or the full ALM? At the office we use TFS 2008 to get bug tracking, reports etc, but for my personal stuff I am using TFS2010 basic on a Windows home server just for source control. Install was a breeze and it just works! I can access everything remotely and It feels like a first class citizen in VS. I wouldn't consider going back myself. That said though, we do have issues with TFS at the office with a team of devs - but almost always it's the developer's actions that cause the problems. Things like changing files outside VS (so TFS doesn't know its changed), or overwriting the server version instead of merging, leaving files exclusively locked, and it has taken a bit of time to educate on good Project structure for source control and the branching and merging strategies, but these are going to be issues with any system. It does help to have the power tools and I also use Team foundation sidekicks to manage the office install.

I am to start another project with a small team, and was wondering is TFS is worth using (I haven't even seen it run yet... wondering if it is worth the time...) Also, has anyone after using TFS decided to go back to subversion/etc? If so, why? Thanks :) -- Les Hughes l...@datarev.com.au
RE: .NET Developer's Guide to Directory Services Programming
The .NET Developer's Guide to Directory Services Programming by Joe Kaplan and Ryan Dunn I am looking at my copy as I type. Used it mainly for looking at user account attributes from AD. Have not used it for a while. System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement makes this so much easier for what I wanted than what I found in the book, but the book nevertheless provides a good insight. When first starting out with LDAP, I found Softerra's free LDAP Browser http://www.ldapadministrator.com/download.htm very useful.

Makes working with users and groups pretty easy. Check it out to see if it meets your needs.

I've had a look at the book's website, and it hasn't been updated since 2007, and the Amazon reviews tail off around 2008 too. Just curious to know whether there have been any advances in directory services programming since then, or whether the book is still relevant. We are about to commence work on a small project that will involve some complex LDAP queries, and wondering whether to use the book as a reference, or bin it?
