Please take a look at the sample source. In the DynamicallyLoadedLibrary project, for example, there are the following files:

CSDynamicPage.dyn.xaml
CSDynamicPage.xaml
CSDynamicPage.xaml.cs

You’ll put the UI for your page in CSDynamicPage.xaml, and the code-behind for that file is CSDynamicPage.xaml.cs. You shouldn’t be modifying the CSDynamicPage.dyn.xaml file at all.

Where do we put codebehind and events for the dynamicpages? I tried adding a button and click event to the delayloaded page, but can’t figure it out. I cannot access the button due to the shim model

Hi David, My problem is that im using a 3rd party control for my web application and the dll for this control is quite heavy at 3 meg. Can i use your suite to dynamically load this dll for the application?

Thanks

Hi David,

I just wanted to comment that I love the direction you’re heading in with this stuff. I’m already using your dynamic pages in my apps, and I’m going to start working today on the new xaml, declarative stuff you’ve provided. Keep up the great work – it’s REALLY appreciated!!!

regards,
Patrick

David,
I attended Block’s MEF session at PDC09, during which he mentioned Dynamic XAP support in the SL4.0 Toolkit. Does your work relate to that?

Can you point me to more information?

Thanks
Rob

can you tell me why you don’t use webclient to download the assembly, while using Webrequest?

I definitely feel your pain there. Hopefully there will be improvements on this front in the future

Hi David,

We combine both: SL3 assembly cache with on-demand xap loading.

With that, we can both take advantage of client side cache and great first time download experience (just a xap is downladed, all the rest are not until they are required).

Please let us know if that’s what you were looking for, and if we can give you some tips.
