Pro Dynamic .Net 4.0 applications : data-driven programming for the .Net framework ; [use data-driven programming to write flexible and dynamic applications

As a developer you are likely painfully aware that not all features of an application can be anticipated when the software ships. In order to cope with these eventualities and save yourself time (and perhaps money), it makes sense to write your applications in such a way that end users can be made as independent of the developers as possible. Giving your users the power to make changes to the way the application operates once it has shipped gives them more control over the way the application works, while reducing the frequency with which you need to redistribute application files, creating a win-win situation. __Pro Dynamic .NET 4.0 Applications__ explains how to give users the power to create additional data-entry fields, validation logic, and new reports without assistance from the application developer. You will learn how to do this for both desktop (C# and WPF) and web (ASP) applications. ## What you’ll learn ## Who this book is for This book is for anyone wanting to distribute an application in which the user needs to be as independent of the developer as possible. By using the techniques described in the book, the user will have the power to make modifications to his own applications, and the developer will reduce the frequency with which he needs to redistribute EXEs. ## Table of Contents Front Matter....Pages i-xii Introducing Data-Driven Programming....Pages 1-28 Reflection....Pages 29-57 Runtime Code Compilation....Pages 59-75 Dynamic WinForms....Pages 77-122 Dynamic ASP.NET....Pages 123-153 Dynamic WPF....Pages 155-182 Reporting....Pages 183-216 Database Design....Pages 217-235 Back Matter....Pages 237-251 Provides information on building .NET 4.0 applications, covering such topics as database metadata, assembly objects, WinForms, WPF, ASP.NET, reporting, and database design.
