Building a Volta Control : A Flickr Widget
Microsoft Live Labs Volta is an emerging toolset that enables developers to build multi-tier web applications by applying familiar .NET techniques and patterns. The intended use of this toolset is for Developers to build web application as .NET client application, and then specify the portions of the codes that will run on the client and server side. The compiler then creates cross browser JavaScript, Web Services, communication, serialization, security etc. to tie the tiers together. I have written my first article on Volta to show how we can create a Volta control that the compiler can convert our very familiar C# code into an AJAX Widget without requiring us writing a single line of JavaScript code. In this article, you will end up creating a Flickr widget like the one shown below which is based on the first CTP of Volta considering its current limitations:
