4. The MVC pattern:
Messages
DataBinding Commands View Service
PropertyChanged
Controller
Events

5. Binding
Behaviour

6. No behaviors in Windows 8
 workaround: Use properties and binding
 PropertyChanged event
Binding
PropertyChanged

7. ISelectFilesService
injection
injection
INavigationService
action

9. Probably not a replacement for “desktop apps”
Very similar to Windows Phone apps
A companion for your richer application

10. public async void Get(Uri uri)
{
var request
= new HttpRequestMessage(
HttpMethod.Post, uri);
Maybe the most difficult aspect var response
= await Client.SendAsync(request);
var result
await/async can be confusing }
= response.Content.ReadAsString();
Often used in Win8

11. Use callbacks to async code
Use interfaces even for simple model classes
Share common classes, overload other classes
Extend classes And if you have to

12. Demo

14. call to action
• Check your code for possible asynchronous
workflows
• Check the developer preview
• Stay tuned for the beta!
