Hello,
The ServerSide.NET site reports that John Montgomery - a Microsoft
marketing manager - has released a detailed guideline for when and how
to move to Avalon based on the recommendations of the Windows Forms
and Avalon teams. This road map shows that large scale adoption of
Avalon is still more than a year away.
Microsoft's roadmap for client UI development has three main phases:
1. Today, use Windows Forms v1.1 and observe the Microsoft Patterns
and Practices guidance for maintaining clean separation between UI and
other application logic.
2. When Avalon v1.0 releases (scheduled for mid-2006), we recommend
that applications looking to differentiate their user interface such
as Web sites and graphically intensive applications such as complex
data visualization look closely at Avalon. Other applications should
continue using Windows Forms.
3. Following the release of Avalon 1.0, the next version of Visual
Studio following Visual Studio 2005 will contain tools and designers
to support Avalon. At this point, customers should start to move their
new development efforts to Avalon and use the Windows Forms/Avalon
interoperability features.
