Course 70119: Binding in XAML and Prototyping Applications in SketchFlow

Introduction This course describes how to implement property binding and data binding in XAML-based applications. You can do both kinds of binding directly from the XAML markup and without writing code. Binding properties enables you to connect the properties of different controls, and binding data enables you to display data from external data sources on your interface. An understanding of both these abilities can help you develop full-featured applications based on XAML. The course also introduces you to SketchFlow in Expression Blend 4. You can use SketchFlow to rapidly build and share dynamic prototypes for both Silverlight and WPF applications. When you use the SketchFlow feature to share dynamic prototypes with others, they can directly provide feedback from their computers, without installing additional software onto their computers. You can then implement that feedback in an iterative development process. Objectives At the end of the course, students will be able to:

• In this course, you will implement property binding and binding to external data objects in XAML-based applications. In addition, you learn to prototype applications with SketchFlow in Expression Blend 4.
