Miss today's Weekly Webinar? No problem. The on-demand resources are ready for your viewing pleasure both here on Telerik Watch and on Telerik TV. First, I'd like to thank those of you that took time out of your day to join the live event- hopefully we were able to answer your questions and you were able to extract some good learning. For everyone else, you missed a webinar that covered a lot. And since there is so much covered in this webinar, and since I know it can be challenging to decide if it's worth watching a 1 hour online video, here are some questions to ask yourself to help you make your decision:
- Do you want to know how to build an application for Silverlight or WPF that uses "enterprise grade" patterns?
- Do you want to see a "best practices" approach for structuring your Visual Studio solution when building a n-tier XAML application?
- Do you wish you knew more about Microsoft Prism and how to use it?
- Do you want to better understand what the MVVM pattern is all about?
- Do you you want to see the "proof" that the RadControls for Silverlight / WPF have 100% identical APIs and can be easily used to build one application and target both the desktop and the web?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, this webinar has content for you. Check it out and then visit Telerik.com to learn more about the Telerik Sales Dashboard reference application. There you will even find links to explore the Silverlight and WPF versions of the Sales Dashboard on your own. Enjoy.

Hi!
Unfortunately wasn't able to watch the presentation online, but would like to ask one question:
What would be the major concerns converting the dashboard application to vb.net ? is it something that I shouldn't even consider, or would it be relativelly easy to achieve ? I ask this because my team almost only develops in vb.
Thkx in Advance,

@Rui- I don't see any reason you should have trouble porting to VB. All of the markup will remain unchanged and most of the code should be easy to convert. I will talk to the teams and see if we have any plans of publishing a VB version of this app. If we do, I'll definitely let you know.

Todd - Thkx a lot, The main reason why I ask this is because i haven't seen one single example of prism made with vb.net, wich is kind of sayn' vb.net "sucks" :)
I see. I imagine the reason is most devs concerned with building composite apps are probably in the C# camp (at least, they are today). As Prism becomes more mainstream, I'm sure more VB examples will emerge. VB is definitely a capable language- every bit as capable as C#- so I don't think Prism hates VB. :)
