 不可否認,對於網頁美工人員或是動畫設計師而言,Silverlight提供了Flash以外的一個畫布,令她們可盡情揮灑創意!但對於設計 師而言,Silverlight如何結合資料庫來呈現資料則是更具吸引力的課題,很明顯的!Silverlight 1.0 RC與Silverlight 1.1並不支援Data Binding機制,而且目前對於中文顯示仍存在著問題(下載字型不算是個解法,因為有法律問題),不過如果這個問題獲得解決,Silverlight結 合資料庫後所呈現的效果,相信會給客戶完全不同的網頁操作感受,當然!前提得要Silverlight支援Data Bindings,否則一切都是紙上談兵罷了。要令Silverlight支援Data Bindings說來也不難,只要處理幾個關鍵問題即可。一、資料提供者為何?ASP.NET Ajax的PageMethods/Web Service可以勝任此工作,如下列程式片段所示。
private static DataTable BuildDataCache()
    {
        if (HttpRuntime.Cache["DataCache_Employees"] != null)
            return HttpRuntime.Cache["DataCache_Employees"] as DataTable;
        else
        {
            using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[
"NorthwindConnectionString"].ConnectionString))
            {
                SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(
"SELECT * FROM Employees ORDER BY EmployeeID", conn);
                DataTable table = new DataTable("Employees");
                adapter.Fill(table);
                HttpRuntime.Cache["DataCache_Employees"] = table;
                return table;
            }
        }
    }
 
    [WebMethod]
    public static Employee GetData(int index)
    {
        DataTable table = BuildDataCache();
        return new Employee(table.DefaultView[index]);
    }
 
    [WebMethod]
    public static int GetCount()
    {
        DataTable table = BuildDataCache();
        return table.DefaultView.Count;
    }
 
    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    }
}
 
[Serializable]
public class Employee
{
    [NonSerialized]
    private DataRowView _rv = null;
 
    public string EmployeeID
    {
        get
        {
            return (_rv.Row.IsNull("EmployeeID") ? string.Empty : _rv["EmployeeID"].ToString());
        }
    }
 
    public string LastName
    {
        get
        {
            return (_rv.Row.IsNull("LastName") ? string.Empty : (string)_rv["LastName"]);
        }
    }
 
    public string FirstName
    {
        get
        {
            return (_rv.Row.IsNull("FirstName") ? string.Empty : (string)_rv["FirstName"]);
        }
    }
 
    public string Title
    {
        get
        {
            return (_rv.Row.IsNull("Title") ? string.Empty : (string)_rv["Title"]);
        }
    }
 
    public string HireDate
    {
        get
        {
            return (_rv.Row.IsNull("HireDate") ?
string.Empty : ((DateTime)_rv["HireDate"]).ToShortDateString());
        }
    }
 
    public Employee(DataRowView rv)
    {
        _rv = rv;
    }
}
運用ASP.NET Ajax及JSON,我們可以輕易的用JavaScript來取得資料庫的資料,接著只要將資料設定給指定Silverlight控制項即可,這個工作可 以簡單化也可以複雜化,簡單的作法是直接在JavaScript以findName來取得控制項,然後一一設定其屬性值。
handleLoad: function(plugIn, userContext, rootElement)
{
           this.plugIn = plugIn;
           this.dataContext = rootElement.children.getItem(0);
           PageMethods.GetCount(this.OnSucceeded,this.OnFailed,this);
           this.receiveData(this.currentDataIndex);
},
OnSucceeded: function(result, userContext, methodName)
{
      if (methodName == "GetData")
      {
          userContext.displayData(result);
      }
      else if(methodName == "GetCount")
          userContext.recordCount = result;
},         
OnFailed:function(error, userContext, methodName)
{
       if(error !== null)
       {
          alert(error.get_message());
       }
},
displayData: function(data)
{
      var idCtrl = this.dataContext.findName('txtEmployeeID');
       var firstNameCtrl = this.dataContext.findName('txtLastName');
       var lastNameCtrl = this.dataContext.findName('txtFirstName');
       var titleCtrl = this.dataContext.findName('txtTitle');
       var hireDateCtrl = this.dataContext.findName('txtHireDate');
       var imgCtrl = this.dataContext.findName("imgPhoto");
       idCtrl.text = data.EmployeeID;
       firstNameCtrl.text = data.FirstName;
       lastNameCtrl.text = data.LastName;
       titleCtrl.text = data.Title;
       hireDateCtrl.text = data.HireDate;
       imgCtrl.source = "Default.aspx?ID="+idCtrl.text;
       this.dataContext.findName("imgAnimation").begin();
}
這種做法的缺點是設計師得用JavaScript寫下許多程式碼。另一種做法是利用Silverlight控制項的Tag屬性,指定Binding Expression,然後於JavaScript中巡覽她們來一一指定值,如下列片段所示。

那如何解析TagBinding Expression並指定值呢?答案是利用SilverlightJavaScript支援,一一巡覽所有控制項,一一解析Tag,然後再指定值。

使用此JavaScript物件的方法很簡單,只要於handleLoad中建立此物件,然後將Silverlight的根控制項傳入即可。
handleLoad: function(plugIn, userContext, rootElement)
{
           this.plugIn = plugIn;
           this.dataContext = rootElement.children.getItem(0);
           this.bindingContext =
new SilverlightBinding.BindingContext(rootElement.children.getItem(0));
           this.bindingContext.initialize();
}
切換上下筆時也很簡單。
function Next()
{
   window.Silverlight.current_DataContext.bindingContext.next();
   window.Silverlight.current_DataContext.dataContext.findName("imgAnimation").begin();
}
 
function Prev()
{
   window.Silverlight.current_DataContext.bindingContext.prev();
   window.Silverlight.current_DataContext.dataContext.findName("imgAnimation").begin();
}
下圖為執行畫面。
看不到炫麗效果啊?哈~~~我承認,我的美工細胞粉差!
