Hi guys,

We've got few questions regarding DevForce product

1. Is there up to date version of DevForce developers guide pdf file?

If found only this one which is old:

http://www.ideablade.com/CommonProductDocs/DevForceDevelopersGuide/DevForceDevelopersGuide.pdf

2. Where we can find more information on how to create N-tier WPF application?

3. Is there any video / example / documentation etc on how to create WPF and SL application sharing the same DevForce application server (and ViewModels if that's possible).

Cheers

1. We're not currently maintaining the Developer's Guide as a single document, but all of the content it contained is available via the DevForce wiki at

http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/ - http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/

2. DevForce contains a project template for creating an n-tier WPF app, and the Hello DevForce sample app, which is one, is created in a detailed walk-through.

3. We don’t have any samples showing the same BOS hosting both SL and WPF clients, but it’s definitely supported. By default, service endpoints are created based on your license, so if you have a Universal license the BOS will automatically create endpoints for both types of client applications. You can see these endpoints in the debuglog, for example:

http://localhost:9009/EntityService.svc - http://localhost:9009/EntityService.svc

http://localhost/EntityService.svc/sl - http://localhost:9009/EntityService.svc/sl ç SL endpoint

This connection information is specified in the app.config file of the client application (although in SL applications the app.config is not required as the defaults are usually sufficient) via the <objectServer> tag:
