I’ve been spending quite a bit of time working with WinRT over the past couple weeks.
Specifically prepping for next week’s Visual Studio
Live! and VS Connections conferences.
As part of this process, I have a super early version of CSLA 4 version 4.5 that builds
and (mostly) runs on WinRT. I’d done a lot of the work months ago when the Windows
8 developer preview came out, so getting it to work on the consumer preview took only
a couple hours.
The only new feature I’ve added so
far is support for the new async and await keywords
for WinRT data portal code. I still need to add async/await support for the .NET data
portal. I might refine some of my implementation, but right now I can use async/await
to call the data portal in WinRT, and that’s cool!
The primary observation I want to make right now though, is that business classes
created using CSLA 4 that target Silverlight will now recompile for WinRT with no
code changes required. I took the entire ProjectTracker business library project and
just recompiled it for WinRT and it works...(Read whole news on source site)
