Bien el asunto es que hab&amp;#237;a dejado relegada esta tarea y hoy precisamente (en medio de mi frustraci&amp;#243;n por que el vuelo que tomo a Costa Rica se retraso nada mas que una par de horas) encuentro el tiempo para poder hablarles sobre el tema.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Bien, dejemos de lado la palabrer&amp;#237;a y entremos en materia. Como desarrolladores, analistas, dise&amp;#241;adores y arquitectos siempre enfrentamos problemas serios al momento de decidir la forma en que podemos producir c&amp;#243;digo reutilizable para nuestras aplicaciones. Los que hemos tenido la oportunidad de programar en .Net sabemos de la infinidad de librer&amp;#237;as de clase y m&amp;#233;todos (procedimientos y funciones) que nos provee el framework, si bien podemos decir que &amp;quot;casi&amp;quot; todo lo tenemos a la mano, bien sabemos que existen casos en que necesitamos de una funci&amp;#243;n y no la tenemos disponible. Veamos el siguiente ejemplo de una funci&amp;#243;n para poder contar la cantidad de letras dentro de un string:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vb.Net&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div&gt;   &lt;div style="padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 8pt; padding-bottom: 0px; overflow: visible; width: 100%; color: black; border-top-style: none; line-height: 12pt; padding-top: 0px; font-family: consolas, &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, monospace; border-right-style: none; border-left-style: none; background-color: #f4f4f4; border-bottom-style: none"&gt;     &lt;pre style="padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 8pt; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0em; overflow: visible; width: 100%; color: black; border-top-style: none; line-height: 12pt; padding-top: 0px; font-family: consolas, &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, monospace; border-right-style: none; border-left-style: none; background-color: white; border-bottom-style: none"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #606060"&gt;   1:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #0000ff"&gt;Public&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #0000ff"&gt;Function&lt;/span&gt; ContarLetrasSinMetodosExtension(&lt;span style="color: #0000ff"&gt;ByVal&lt;/span&gt; s &lt;span style="color: #0000ff"&gt;As&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #0000ff"&gt;String&lt;/span&gt;) &lt;span style="color: #0000ff"&gt;As&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #0000ff"&gt;Integer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;En el ejemplo anterior vemos una funci&amp;#243;n simple para poder contar el numero de letras presentes en un string, como consideraci&amp;#243;n de usabilidad y dise&amp;#241;o podr&amp;#237;amos construir una clase con el metodo &amp;quot;shared&amp;quot; (vb.net) o &amp;quot;static&amp;quot; (c#)&amp;#160; en donde podr&amp;#237;amos incluir la funci&amp;#243;n. Ok, suena bien, pero no creen que ser&amp;#237;a mejor utilizar la clase string para esta funcion?, funcionalmente hablando ser&amp;#237;a m&amp;#225;s intuitivo para los desarrolladores, al fin y al cabo ellos por l&amp;#243;gica el primer lugar donde buscar&amp;#237;an esta funci&amp;#243;n seria dentro de la clase string. Bueno cuales son nuestras opciones?, ok la primera ser&amp;#237;a tener que extender la funcionalidad de la clase string del .net framework, lo cual es una opci&amp;#243;n viable pero tambi&amp;#233;n laboriosa, adicionalmente tenemos el problema que no es una soluci&amp;#243;n transparente, debido a que muchas clases de las librerias de clase del framework han sido marcadas como &amp;quot;sealed&amp;quot;. Bien la otra opci&amp;#243;n es hacer uso de los nuevos Extension Methods, los cales nos permiten extender la funcionalidad de cualquier clase del .net framework, sea esta una clase del framework, una clase de una dll de terceros o bien una clase propia. Bien, veamos a continuaci&amp;#243;n como re-escribiriamos el metodo del ejemplo anterior haciendo uso de los &amp;quot;extension methods&amp;quot;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vb.Net&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Como pueden observar es muy sencillo poder escribir un &amp;quot;extension method&amp;quot;, basta con utilizar el atributo &amp;lt;Extension()&amp;gt; y listo. Que pasa en el caso de c#, bueno hay 3&amp;#160; cosas que cambian: en primer lugar tienen que definir expl&amp;#237;citamente el m&amp;#233;todo como &amp;quot;static&amp;quot; , en segundo lugar deben agregar la palabra &amp;quot;this&amp;quot; antes del par&amp;#225;metro que identifique el tipo de dato que quieren extender y por ultimo los metodos deben estar definidos dentro de una clase est&amp;#225;tica.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Como logra el compilador establecer el tipo de dato a extender?, sencillo, el ubica el tipo del primer par&amp;#225;metro del m&amp;#233;todo que esta siendo marcado como&amp;lt;Extesion()&amp;gt; e inmediatamente asocia al tipo de dato el mismo para que pueda aparecer como si fuera un m&amp;#233;todo propio de la clase.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bien con esto entonces ahora podemos definir una variable tipo string y luego podr&amp;#237;amos utilizar el m&amp;#233;todo de extensi&amp;#243;n, que se ha atachado m&amp;#225;gicamente a la clase string, como si fuera uno propio. Veamos el ejemplo:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://weblogs.asp.net/blogs/carloslone/WindowsLiveWriter/ExtensionMethodsMientrasesperoenelaereop_14D2C/image_2.png"&gt;&lt;img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="163" alt="Metodo de Extension" src="http://weblogs.asp.net/blogs/carloslone/WindowsLiveWriter/ExtensionMethodsMientrasesperoenelaereop_14D2C/image_thumb.png" width="503" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Dando valor agregado a las clases&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bien hemos visto como de forma tan sencilla podemos extender cualquier clase que definamos dentro del .net framework. Las posibilidades son infinitas, la verdadera tarea de parte nuestra ser&amp;#225; evaluar el tipo de funciones que podemos extender a una clase con el fin de dar un valor agregado a los desarrolladores. Veamos a continuaci&amp;#243;n que simple y sencillo se convierte la tarea de poder agregarle a la clase string un m&amp;#233;todo para encriptar y obtener un hash del contenido de una cadena de caracteres:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Como ven esta es una funci&amp;#243;n muy simple, pero a la vez muy &amp;#250;til y les permitir&amp;#225; a los desarrolladores generar hashes del contenido de una cadena de caracteres. Como tarea les solicito a escribir una funci&amp;#243;n para descencriptar &amp;#191;C&amp;#243;mo lo har&amp;#237;an? espero ver en la secci&amp;#243;n de comentarios implementaciones.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Que Sucede si quiero enviarle par&amp;#225;metros a un m&amp;#233;todo extendido&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;la respuesta es muy sencilla. Lo &amp;#250;nico que deber&amp;#225;n hacer es agregar luego del primer par&amp;#225;metro de la funci&amp;#243;n (el que identifica el tipo de dato a extender), los par&amp;#225;metros que sean necesarios para llevar a cabo la operaci&amp;#243;n. Veamos a continuaci&amp;#243;n como implementar una funci&amp;#243;n para poder determinar si una string se encuentra dentro de un arreglo de strings:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Como ven la operaci&amp;#243;n es muy sencilla, solo agregan par&amp;#225;metros a su m&amp;#233;todo conforme lo vayan necesitando.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Conclusi&amp;#243;n&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Los m&amp;#233;todos extendidos (Extension Methodos) son una forma confiable y &amp;#250;til de poder extender la funcionalidad de cualquier clase. Simplifican la operaci&amp;#243;n de crear nuevas operaciones y asociarla a los tipos de datos correspondientes para una mejor usabilididad y descubrimiento.&lt;/p&gt;

Comenzar&amp;#233; este post explicando un poco el por que de LINQ.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Como programadores sabemos que el software es algo simple, ya que lo podr&amp;#237;amos reducir a dos cosas: C&amp;#243;digo y datos. Sin embargo, escribir software no es tan simple y una de las mayores actividades que envuelve el escribir c&amp;#243;digo es trabajar con datos.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Normalmente como desarrolladores tenemos la necesidad de tener que conocer, y no solo conocer sino realmente ser buenos, en diferentes lenguajes y tecnolog&amp;#237;as cuando desarrollamos una aplicaci&amp;#243;n, tal es el caso que no solo necesitamos utilizar un lenguaje de programaci&amp;#243;n, sino tambi&amp;#233;n conocer de SQL y algunas veces API's para trabajar con documentos en XML. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;Que es LINQ?&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;En el esquema actual supongamos que tenemos que escribir una aplicaci&amp;#243;n, la posibilidad que tengamos que hacer persistir objetos hacia la base de datos es muy alta, as&amp;#237; como enviar consultas a la base de datos y cargar esos resultados en objetos. Esta es una tarea que normalmente consume bastante tiempo al desarrollador de aplicaciones y el problema principal es que existe una brecha entre los lenguajes de programaci&amp;#243;n y las bases de datos. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Los motivos principales originales detr&amp;#225;s de LINQ fueron administrar las dificultades conceptuales y t&amp;#233;cnicas al momento de trabajar con bases de datos y lenguajes de programaci&amp;#243;n de .net. Pero, realmente la intenci&amp;#243;n de Microsoft fue proveer una soluci&amp;#243;n para el problema del &amp;quot;mapeo relacional de objetos&amp;quot; (ORM en ingles), as&amp;#237; como simplificar la interacci&amp;#243;n entre objetos y fuentes de datos. LINQ evoluciono hacia un conjunto de herramientas integradas para consultas. Estas herramientas pueden ser utilizadas para acceder a informaci&amp;#243;n almacenada en objetos en memoria (LINQ to Objects), bases de datos (LINQ to SQL) , documentos XML (LINQ to XML), un sistema de archivos o cualquier &lt;a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/charlie/archive/2006/10/05/Links-to-LINQ.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;otra fuente&lt;/a&gt;. Veamos la siguiente gr&amp;#225;fica:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://weblogs.asp.net/blogs/carloslone/WindowsLiveWriter/LINQinActionChapter1BookReviewQueesLINQ_FD52/UnderstandingLINQ%5B1%5D_2.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="357" alt="Arquitectura Linq" src="http://weblogs.asp.net/blogs/carloslone/WindowsLiveWriter/LINQinActionChapter1BookReviewQueesLINQ_FD52/UnderstandingLINQ%5B1%5D_thumb.gif" width="504" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Como vemos en la gr&amp;#225;ficas anterior, LINQ es una tecnolog&amp;#237;a que nos puede ayudar mucho a resolver los problemas que se presentan para hacer consultas hacia fuentes de datos, noten que LINQ es extensible y de hecho hoy en d&amp;#237;a hay muchas implementaciones de &lt;a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/charlie/archive/2006/10/05/Links-to-LINQ.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;linq hacia otras fuentes de datos o servicios&lt;/a&gt;. Un factor clave de LINQ es que fue dise&amp;#241;ado para ser utilizado contra cualquier tipo de objeto o fuente de datos y para proveer un modelo de programaci&amp;#243;n consistente.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Otra caracter&amp;#237;stica importante de LINQ es que al utilizarlo se trabaja en un mundo fuertemente tipado (Strongly Typed), lo que permite tener verificaciones en tiempo de compilaci&amp;#243;n para las consultas, as&amp;#237; como la asistencia del Intellisense de Visual Studio.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;Por que necesitamos LINQ?&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="86" src="http://www.dlsi.ua.es/~inesta/Prog/Portadas/why_rock.jpg" width="88" align="left" /&gt; Cualquiera que ya halla trabajado en .net podr&amp;#237;a argumentar lo siguiente: si ya tengo un modelo de acceso a datos con ADO.NET y a trav&amp;#233;s del mismo puedo hacer mis consultas y actualizaciones de datos por que necesito LINQ?, para dar respuesta a esto enumeremos a continuaci&amp;#243;n algunos de los problemas mas comunes con este escenario:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Generalmente los Queries est&amp;#225;n expresados como cadenas de datos (strings), lo que significa que estos sobrepasan cualquier tipo de chequeo en tiempo de compilaci&amp;#243;n. Que pasar&amp;#237;a si el nombre de una columna fue escrito err&amp;#243;neamente?, que pasar&amp;#237;a si el nombre de una columna es renombrado? &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Generalmente no nos preocupamos por utilizar Ansi SQL al hacer nuestras consultas, lo cual no nos garantiza que al tener que cambiar de base de datos nuestra consulta no tendr&amp;#225; problemas. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Cuando se habla de Object Relational Mappers (ORM's) generalmente se hace referencia al termino &amp;quot;impedance mismatch&amp;quot;, que se resume a la siguiente expression Datos != Objetos y mas especificamente Datos Relacionales != Objetos. Ambos paradigmas son totalmente diferentes. &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Existen diferentes ORM's en el mercado, ya sea open source o comprados, pero el problema principal es que utilizan m&amp;#233;todos diferentes para solucionar el &amp;quot;impedance mismatch&amp;quot; o bien requieren de hacer mapeos por archivos XML entre las entidades de base de datos y objetos POCO (Plain Old Clr Object), tal es el caso de Nhibernate. &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Aqu&amp;#237; es donde LINQ entra al rescate, en primer lugar con LINQ trabajamos en un ambiente fuertemente tipado, lo cual nos garantiza que alguno cambio en la fuente de datos, inmediatamente tendremos los warnings del compilador. Los programadores no se tendr&amp;#225;n que preocupar con las sentencias SQL que se deben enviar a la base de datos, ya que este trabajo de traducci&amp;#243;n lo maneja autom&amp;#225;ticamente LINQ. Por ultimo utilizamos un esquema de programaci&amp;#243;n consistente, lo que significa que no importa a que fuente de datos vamos a realizar la consulta, la sintaxis siempre es la misma.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;HELLO WORL LINQ&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img height="177" src="http://www.kirupa.com/blend_silverlight/images/centeringHelloWorld.png" width="240" align="left" /&gt; Bueno, para terminar esta primer cap&amp;#237;tulo veamos un poco de c&amp;#243;digo. Al final a muchos nos aburre la teor&amp;#237;a y preferimos las cosas pr&amp;#225;cticas. Ok, a continuaci&amp;#243;n realizaremos nuestra primer consulta con LINQ, se trata de nuestro viejo amigo &amp;quot;Hello World&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Que necesitan tener instalado para usar LINQ? pueden utilizar VS2008, o algunas de las versiones express como Visual Web Developer Express 2008 y por su puesto tener instalado el .net framework 3.5.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Veamos el siguiente c&amp;#243;digo que nos demuestra el uso de Linq to objects, en el cual crearemos una lista de strings y obtendremos las palabras con mas de 4 letras:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div&gt;   &lt;div style="padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 8pt; padding-bottom: 0px; overflow: visible; width: 100%; color: black; border-top-style: none; line-height: 12pt; padding-top: 0px; font-family: consolas, &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, monospace; border-right-style: none; border-left-style: none; background-color: #f4f4f4; border-bottom-style: none"&gt;     &lt;pre style="padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 8pt; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0em; overflow: visible; width: 100%; color: black; border-top-style: none; line-height: 12pt; padding-top: 0px; font-family: consolas, &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, monospace; border-right-style: none; border-left-style: none; background-color: white; border-bottom-style: none"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #606060"&gt;   1:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #0000ff"&gt;private&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #0000ff"&gt;static&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #0000ff"&gt;void&lt;/span&gt; EjemploConLinq()&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Si se dan cuenta hay algunos aspectos nuevos que estamos utilizados y que realmente no todo tiene que ver con LINQ, por ejemplo la palabra &amp;quot;var&amp;quot; o &amp;quot;Dim&amp;quot; sin tipo (vb.net) sirve para poder definir variables sin tener que especificar el tipo de dato de la misma, este es un feature de C#3 y Vb 9 llamado Type Inference. Luego viene la consulta, si se dan cuenta es muy parecida a una sentencia de SQL. Por el momento no se preocupen por la sintaxis, m&amp;#225;s adelante en otro post veremos a detalle la misma, lo importante es observar lo simple y consistente que es el modelo de programaci&amp;#243;n. Pero esperen, como se mirar&amp;#237;a este c&amp;#243;digo sin linq?, veamoslo&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Como ven con LINQ una tarea muy sencilla, les dejo de tarea realizar esta operaci&amp;#243;n sin el uso de LINQ (en el &amp;#225;rea de comentarios pueden postear su soluci&amp;#243;n). Ver&amp;#225;n que esta en realidad se convierte en una tarea m&amp;#225;s complicada.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ahora que hemos visto nuestro primer ejemplo es hora de ver el poder de LINQ para trabajar con XML, supongamos que tenemos un que armar un documento XML con informaci&amp;#243;n de clientes para esto definiremos una clase Cliente:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Podemos observar claramente en este ejemplo la consistencia del modelo de programaci&amp;#243;n que define LINQ, es decir vemos que la forma de realizar una consulta tiene la misma estructura. Otro factor importante es notar el uso de las clases XElement y XAttribute, las cuales pertenecen al namespace System.Xml.Linq, con las mismas la generaci&amp;#243;n del documento XML es mucho m&amp;#225;s sencilla. Nuevamente les dejo la inquietud de implementar esta operaci&amp;#243;n haciendo uso de las clases tradicionales para manejo de XML que tiene el framework sin usar LINQ.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Un momento ....! , hay m&amp;#225;s .... SI, esta es una buena noticia para los fan&amp;#225;ticos de VB.NET, uno de los features de VB 9 es la capacidad de utilizar XML Literals, a trav&amp;#233;s de los cuales la generaci&amp;#243;n de documentos XML se facilita mucho m&amp;#225;s. Xml Literals utiliza el principio de generaci&amp;#243;n de c&amp;#243;digo din&amp;#225;mico utilizado en las paginas ASP tradicionales, por medio de la utilizaci&amp;#243;n de expresiones &amp;lt;%= %&amp;gt; veamos el ejemplo&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Vemos que esta es una forma m&amp;#225;s legible y f&amp;#225;cil para poder crear documentos XML, esta caracter&amp;#237;stica funciona &amp;#250;nicamente en VB.NET.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Tenemos pendiente ver LINQ to SQL, pero este tema lo dejare para el pr&amp;#243;ximo post. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Esten Pendientes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;CONCLUSION&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;LINQ es una tecnolog&amp;#237;a que ha venido a facilitar a los desarrolladores, para utilizar un modelo consistente de programaci&amp;#243;n para realizar consultas. La constante necesidad de administrar la informaci&amp;#243;n en una aplicaci&amp;#243;n obliga a los desarrolladores a tener que volverse expertos en diferentes lenguajes y api's para manejar bases de datos, documentos XML u otra fuente de datos, LINQ permite unificar un mismo criterio para administrar este tipo de operaciones y uno de sus principales objetivos de dise&amp;#241;o fue proveer una arquitectura extensible para que pudieran generarse nuevas implementaciones a otras fuentes de datos.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;LINQ en el .net framework 3.5 viene con 4 sabores:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Linq to Objects &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Linq to SQL &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Linq to XML &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Linq to Dataset &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Aunque ya se han implementando &lt;a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/charlie/archive/2006/10/05/Links-to-LINQ.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;mas fuentes de datos para trabajar con esta tecnolog&amp;#237;a&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Este post ha resumido muchos de los aspectos expuestos en el capitulo 1 del libro LINQ IN ACTION el cual se los recomiendo, ya que es claro, conciso y pr&amp;#225;ctico.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Esten pendientes de los siguientes capitulos !&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Saludos,&lt;/p&gt;

Realmente existen un mont&amp;#243;n de adiciones y mejoras, sin embargo si eres de las personas que no puede esperar y quieres tener siempre lo &amp;#250;ltimo, hay varias consideraciones que tienes que tomar en cuenta. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;En lo personal no recomiendo probar el SP1 en un ambiente critico y real de producci&amp;#243;n, pueden utilizar una Virtual PC y all&amp;#237; poner a prueba las nuevas caracter&amp;#237;sticas.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Si tienen planificado hacer la instalaci&amp;#243;n del SP1 considerar lo siguiente:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Si tienen instalado el VS 2008 tools for Silverlight 2, deberan des-instalarlo&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Si instalaron el bug fix KB949325 tambi&amp;#233;n deben desinstalarlo&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Si tienen planeado instalar en Windows Vista asegurense de primero tener instalado el Service Pack 1 de lo contrario van a tener errores de instalaci&amp;#243;n&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Si est&amp;#225;n utilizando Blend 2.5 aseg&amp;#250;rense de conseguir &lt;a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/expression/archive/2008/04/18/vs2008sp1.aspx"&gt;esta actualizaci&amp;#243;n&lt;/a&gt; por que en el SP1 de .net 3.5 hay un problema que causa que errores al utilizar blend&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Dentro de las mejoras que podemos encontrar estan:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Mejoras para el Desarrollo Web:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Soporte para ASP.NET Dynamic Data&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Un nuevo engine para Routing en ASP.NET (System.Web.Routing), este podra ser utilizado por MVC, as&amp;#237; como tambi&amp;#233;n por paginas normales&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Soporte del Histoy (Boton back/forward) en ASP.NET AJAX&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Mejoras en rendimiento del editor html designer y el html source&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Nuevas Preferences para Javascript&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Mejor soporte a Intellisense en Javascript&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Soporte de Refactoring para servicios WCF en proyectos ASP.NET&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Soporte de intellisense para p&amp;#225;ginas cl&amp;#225;sicas de ASP&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Web developer express tiene ahora soporte al template de class library y Web Application Projects&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Mejoras para el desarrollo Clientes Windows&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Mejoras en el tiempo de respuesta al levantar una aplicaci&amp;#243;n: Este feature es muy bueno ya que se implemento un algoritmo que optimiza el tiempo en que tarda en levantarse una aplicaci&amp;#243;n, esta mejora tambi&amp;#233;n optimizo el tiempo de compilaci&amp;#243;n de una pagina web&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Nueva capacidad de definir un perfil del cliente para los paquetes de instalaci&amp;#243;n&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Mejoras en ClickOnce Deployment&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Nuevos Controles en Winforms&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Mejoras de rendimiento en WPF&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Se agregaron efectos de sombra para controles en WPF&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Soporte de interoperabilidad entre WPF y Direct3D&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Mejoras en el Desarrollo con Datos&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;ADO.NET Entity Framework y LINQ to Entities&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Soporte a SQL 2008&lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;ADO.NET Data Service (previamente llamado &amp;quot;ASTORIA&amp;quot;)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Mejoras a C# y VB.NET&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Mejoras a Team Foundation Server 2008&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;En resumen pueden ver ustedes que el SP1 si trae bastantes features para los dev's, as&amp;#237; como tambi&amp;#233;n muchas optimizaciones para mejorar el ambiente de desarrollo y tambi&amp;#233;n el de ejecuci&amp;#243;n de nuestras aplicaciones.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Si quieren ver el detalle de todos los features les recomiendo visitar el blog de Scott gu:&lt;/p&gt;

Silverlight funciona sobre los sistemas operativos Windows y Mac, adem&amp;#225;s es soportado en m&amp;#250;ltiples navegadores como Internet Explorer, Firefox y Safari.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;&amp;#191;Pero qu&amp;#233; es Silverlight?&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Para los que han escuchado, pero no han podido experimentar con Silverligth, &amp;#233;ste es un Plug In que instalamos en nuestra m&amp;#225;quina y que a trav&amp;#233;s podemos presentar videos y audio, realizar alg&amp;#250;n tipo de transformaci&amp;#243;n o animaciones y que b&amp;#225;sicamente ayuda a mejorar la forma en que presentamos la informaci&amp;#243;n en una p&amp;#225;gina web. Silverlight tiene dos versiones la 1.0 que esta ya en producci&amp;#243;n (Sobre esta basare mis articulos) y la versi&amp;#243;n 2.0 (Antes 1.1) la cual esta en versi&amp;#243;n beta.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;La versi&amp;#243;n Silverlight 1.0 esta basada en un lenguaje declarativo llamado &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/XAML" target="_blank"&gt;XAML&lt;/a&gt;, as&amp;#237; mismo utiliza Javascript para responder a los eventos y agregar funcionalidad. Sin embargo, es totalmente compatible con plataformas que hoy en d&amp;#237;a tenemos disponibles como por ejemplo &lt;a href="http://ajax.asp.net" target="_blank"&gt;ASP.NET AJAX&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;h3&gt;Comenzando a desarrollar una aplicaci&amp;#243;n Silverlight&lt;/h3&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Silverlight hace uso de algunas tecnolog&amp;#237;as para hacer que todo funcione sobre una pagina Web. En primer lugar tenemos a XAML, es cual es utilizado para definir la presentaci&amp;#243;n del contenido,&amp;#160; XAML es un lenguaje de marcado que esta basado en XML y es utilizado en Windows Presentation Foundation.&amp;#160; De hecho Silverlight, utiliza un subconjunto de toda la especificaci&amp;#243;n de XAML, esto con el fin de mantener liviano el download del plug in y de esta forma facilitar su instalaci&amp;#243;n. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Otra herramienta clave es Javascript, el cual permite crear la instancia de Silverlight en una p&amp;#225;gina, as&amp;#237; como tambi&amp;#233;n acceder programaticamente a los objetos y poder responder a los eventos.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Cuales son los pasos para crear una aplicaci&amp;#243;n web con silverlight:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;   &lt;li&gt;Crear una nueva aplicaci&amp;#243;n web en Visual Studio o Web Developer Express &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;A&amp;#241;adir un archivo Silverlight.js al sitio &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Crear un archivo XAML que ser&amp;#225; consumido por silverlight &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Agregar una p&amp;#225;gina web con un &amp;lt;div&amp;gt; que ser&amp;#225; el contenedor para la instancia del control Silverlight &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Agregar un archivo CreateSilverlight.js &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Invocar el m&amp;#233;todo Silverlight.CreateObject &lt;/li&gt;    &lt;li&gt;Referenciar los archivos Silverlight.js y CreateSilverlight en la pagina web creada &lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Pareciera un proceso bastante complicado, sin embargo podemos hacer uso del &lt;a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=89144&amp;amp;clcid=0x409" target="_blank"&gt;SDK 1.0&lt;/a&gt; para silverlight, el cual ya contiene plantillas y ejemplos para poder comenzar a desarrollar sitios web con silverlight.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Para hacer una aplicaci&amp;#243;n con silverlight no es necesario tener Visual Studio, lo podemos hacer desde un notepad. Claro!, esta no es la manera m&amp;#225;s f&amp;#225;cil, pero quer&amp;#237;a hacer la aclaraci&amp;#243;n. Definitivamente recomiendo utilizar Visual Studio si queremos tener una mejor experiencia y ser m&amp;#225;s productivos. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Lo que haremos a continuaci&amp;#243;n es hacer &lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E0BAE58E-9C0B-4090-A1DB-F134D9F095FD&amp;amp;displaylang=en" target="_blank"&gt;download&lt;/a&gt; de las herramientas de &lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E0BAE58E-9C0B-4090-A1DB-F134D9F095FD&amp;amp;displaylang=en" target="_blank"&gt;silverlight para visual studio 2008.&lt;/a&gt; (Si todav&amp;#237;a utilizan Vs2005 el download del SDK 1.0 contienen plantillas para ser utilizadas). Ojo que este download es algo pesado (54Mb), ahora es grande el archivo debido a que estas herramientas ya traen tambi&amp;#233;n las plantillas para desarrollar aplicaciones con la versi&amp;#243;n 2 beta de silverlight. Nota: Estas herramientas pueden ser utilizadas &amp;#250;nicamente sobre Visual Studio Standar o arriba, no funciona con la versi&amp;#243;n Web Developer Express. Sin embargo si trabajan con la versi&amp;#243;n express pueden utilizar las plantillas incluidas en el SDK.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Comenzaremos Abriendo un &amp;quot;New Web Site&amp;quot; y seleccionamos la Plantilla &amp;quot;Silverlight Script Web&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://weblogs.asp.net/blogs/carloslone/WindowsLiveWriter/AprendiendoautilizarSilverlightPrimeraPa_A485/image_4.png"&gt;&lt;img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="278" alt="Creando un sitio Web" src="http://weblogs.asp.net/blogs/carloslone/WindowsLiveWriter/AprendiendoautilizarSilverlightPrimeraPa_A485/image_thumb_1.png" width="502" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Esta acci&amp;#243;n crea un nuevo sitio web pero existen algunos elementos ya definidos dentro del mismo.&amp;#160; Hey!, acaso son los pasos para crear una aplicacion Web Silverlight ? , efectivamente. Esta plantilla ya hace el trabajo por nosotros. A continuaci&amp;#243;n vemos los archivos creados:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://weblogs.asp.net/blogs/carloslone/WindowsLiveWriter/AprendiendoautilizarSilverlightPrimeraPa_A485/image_6.png"&gt;&lt;img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="153" alt="Archivos Creados" src="http://weblogs.asp.net/blogs/carloslone/WindowsLiveWriter/AprendiendoautilizarSilverlightPrimeraPa_A485/image_thumb_2.png" width="205" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Detengamonos un poco y verifiquemos los archivos que aparecen en la imagen contra los pasos descritos con anterioridad. ....&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;.............&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Ven alguna Diferencia?, efectivamente el archivo&amp;#160; CreateSilverlight.js no existe, bueno esto es por que la plantilla define el Script de creaci&amp;#243;n del control Silverlight dentro de la p&amp;#225;gina Default.html.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div&gt;   &lt;div style="padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 8pt; padding-bottom: 0px; overflow: visible; width: 100%; color: black; border-top-style: none; line-height: 12pt; padding-top: 0px; font-family: consolas, &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, monospace; border-right-style: none; border-left-style: none; background-color: #f4f4f4; border-bottom-style: none"&gt;     &lt;pre style="padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 8pt; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0em; overflow: visible; width: 100%; color: black; border-top-style: none; line-height: 12pt; padding-top: 0px; font-family: consolas, &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, monospace; border-right-style: none; border-left-style: none; background-color: white; border-bottom-style: none"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #606060"&gt;   1:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #0000ff"&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #800000"&gt;div&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #ff0000"&gt;id&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff"&gt;=&amp;quot;silverlightPlugInHost&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff"&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

    &lt;pre style="padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 8pt; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0em; overflow: visible; width: 100%; color: black; border-top-style: none; line-height: 12pt; padding-top: 0px; font-family: consolas, &amp;#39;Courier New&amp;#39;, courier, monospace; border-right-style: none; border-left-style: none; background-color: white; border-bottom-style: none"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #606060"&gt;   3:&lt;/span&gt;     &lt;span style="color: #0000ff"&gt;&amp;lt;/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #800000"&gt;div&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0000ff"&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Como vemos en el c&amp;#243;digo anterior, podemos observar que en la pagina Default.html se agrego codigo de javascript. Ac&amp;#225; realmente lo que nos interesa son 2 cosas:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;Notar que dentro de la pagina default.html se ha agregado un &amp;lt;div id=&amp;quot;silverlightPlugInHost&amp;quot;&amp;gt;, este ser&amp;#225; el contenedor en donde instanciaremos el control de silverlight &lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;Dentro del Codigo Javascript se invoca la funci&amp;#243;n Silverlight.createObjectEx, esta funci&amp;#243;n es utilizada para inicializar el control de silverlight en nuestra p&amp;#225;gina. Notar que la propiedad source hace referencia al archivo Scene.Xaml el cual contiene los elementos de presentaci&amp;#243;n. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Otro aspecto que debemos notar es que el archivo Scene.Xaml&amp;#160; tiene asociado un archivo llamado Scene.js&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://weblogs.asp.net/blogs/carloslone/WindowsLiveWriter/AprendiendoautilizarSilverlightPrimeraPa_A485/image_8.png"&gt;&lt;img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="128" alt="Archivo Scene" src="http://weblogs.asp.net/blogs/carloslone/WindowsLiveWriter/AprendiendoautilizarSilverlightPrimeraPa_A485/image_thumb.png" width="162" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Veamos el codigo del Archivo&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Como vemos en esta pieza de c&amp;#243;digo, this.button.addEventListener es la funci&amp;#243;n que utilizamos para crear una especie de delegado que se encargue de capturar el evento sobre un bot&amp;#243;n definido en la presentaci&amp;#243;n del control.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Posteriormente a esta declaraci&amp;#243;n se definen las funciones que capturar&amp;#225;n los eventos que fueron registrados, ejemplo:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;

  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Ahora revisemos un poco el contenido del archivo Scene.Xaml&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;En este bloque lo que hacemos es definir dentro de un Canvas (El cual es como una hoja de papel a la cual le podemos agregar controles y donde podemos dibujar el contenido del control). Dentro de este Hay dos Rect&amp;#225;ngulos y un TextBlock, por ejemplo el textblock es un control que permite agregar texto a su contenido (tal y como un Textbox de winforms o asp.net). Las otras propiedades definen los colores y estilos de presentaci&amp;#243;n.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Siguiendo en la revisi&amp;#243;n del contenido del archivo Scene.Xaml :&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Un storyboard es un elemento que nos permitira agregar animaciones a nuestro control. Para los que han utilizado Flash esto es conocido. A travez del storyboard podremos agregar todas las animaciones y transformaciones que deseamos realizar.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PREGUNTA: &amp;#191;Y tengo que aprender todo este rollo de XAML para silverlight?, la respuesta es si y no, me explico: Si por que es bueno conocer la estructura y sintaxis de XAML, pero no les pido aprender de memoria todos estos elementos. No, por que afortunadamente, tenemos una herramienta que hace todo este trabajo por nosotros. Se trata de &lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/spain/expression/expression-blend/default.mspx" target="_blank"&gt;Expression Blend&lt;/a&gt;. Esta herramienta la cubrieremos en posts mas adelante.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bien, si queremos observar el resultado de esto en nuestro navegador, hacemos click derecho sobre el archivo Default.html y seleccionamos la opci&amp;#243;n View in Browser. El resultado deberia verse de la siguiente forma:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://weblogs.asp.net/blogs/carloslone/WindowsLiveWriter/AprendiendoautilizarSilverlightPrimeraPa_A485/image_12.png"&gt;&lt;img style="border-top-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px" height="180" alt="image" src="http://weblogs.asp.net/blogs/carloslone/WindowsLiveWriter/AprendiendoautilizarSilverlightPrimeraPa_A485/image_thumb_4.png" width="356" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Conclusi&amp;#243;n&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;p&gt;En esta primera entrega hemos aclarado &amp;#191;Que es silverlight?. Hemos visto que Silverlight 1.0 depende de dos herramientas claves que son XAML y javascript. Tambi&amp;#233;n hemos visto como crear una aplicaci&amp;#243;n silverlight desde visual studio y cual es el contenido generado por la plantilla.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;En los pr&amp;#243;ximos posts entraremos m&amp;#225;s a detalle a como hacer nuestra primer aplicaci&amp;#243;n en silverlight.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;HASTA LA PROXIMA!!!!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;P mce_keep="true"&gt;El día de ayer el equipo de desarrollo del Web Deployment Project hizo su anuncio de la versión "Release To Web (RTW)", esto es algo muy importante para aquellas personas que necesitan una herramienta que les ayude a poder facilitar la publicación de sus sitios web a hostings o servidores de producción. Esta es una versión mejorada de lo que ya existia para Visual Studio 2005, entre sus características encontramos:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;DIV mce_keep="true"&gt;Más control sobre el numero de asseblies generados y sobre como queremos nombrar los mismos&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;DIV mce_keep="true"&gt;La capacidad de utilizar MSBuild para poder integrarlo a un ambiente de compilación automatizado&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;DIV mce_keep="true"&gt;La capacidad de poder personalizar la forma de hacer el build desde visual studio&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;DIV mce_keep="true"&gt;La capacidad de poder personalizar el archivo web.config para su publicación&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;
&lt;DIV mce_keep="true"&gt;Entre otras ...&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P mce_keep="true"&gt;Si quieren descargar el software lo encuentran en la siguiente dirección:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P mce_keep="true"&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=0AA30AE8-C73B-4BDD-BB1B-FE697256C459&amp;amp;displaylang=en"&gt;http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=0AA30AE8-C73B-4BDD-BB1B-FE697256C459&amp;amp;displaylang=en&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
