The Avalon Approach Unified approach to UI, Documents, and Media Integration as part of development and experience Integrated, vector-based composition engine Utilizing the power of the PC throughout the graphics stack Declarative programming Bringing designers directly into application development 4

Integration – The Guiding Vision Avalon - the integrated platform for UI, Media, and Documents share the benefits of a new stack built from the bottom up Anchored on the. NET Framework and Direct 3 D Parallel procedural and declarative models UI Flexible component architecture Layout services Two-way transformable data binding Media Graphics Audio, video, animation Documents Fixed, flow, and adaptive layouts Pagination/printing Rights management 5

UI, Documents, Media Pablo Fernicola Group Program Manager Windows Client Platform 6

Developer Experience Best of Web, Best of Windows Bringing together the advantages from both worlds Web seamless deployment, update, and administration flowable layout progressive download and rendering declarative model (text -based markup) Windows unrestricted functionality integration with Windows desktop good offline support scalability/performance broad developer language and tools support 7

Developer Experience Declarative Programming Extensible Application Markup – codenamed XAML One-to-one correspondence with object model Key role in enabling interoperation between UI authoring tools and developer tools Fundamental XAML concepts: Markup can contain code Markup can be compiled for execution Markup and procedural code are peers in functionality and performance 8

Developer Experience New Development Process Dynamics Markup and code integration enables designers to take a direct role in the application and content development process Expressiveness of XAML enables designers to create compelling experiences with high visual quality and refinement Separation of markup and code enables designers to focus on the experience, while developers focus on the logic 9

Developer Experience Consistency, with Flexibility Consistent programming model code and markup are both first class citizens consistent model between UI, documents, and media presented through managed interfaces Greater access to the underlying presentation services ability to customize system components easily build new components from system base classes examples include controls, layout, editing, etc. 10

Windows Ecosystem Modern Windows Experiences Take advantage of existing and emerging PC experiences Avalon will provide built-in support for recent advancements such as Tablet PC and Windows XP Media Center Edition PCs Tablet PC – advanced input (e. g. , pen, ink, speech), annotations Media Center Edition - 10 foot UI and distributed media experience 18

Windows Ecosystem Interop Extending the value of your existing development investment through: Integration with Windows Forms Host Avalon controls in Windows Forms applications Host Windows Forms controls and Forms in Avalon applications Integration ranges from security model to events, properties, and databinding Integration with HTML Host Avalon content within a HTML frame Host HTML within an Avalon Frame Integration with Win 32 Host Avalon controls in hwnd Host hwnd inside Avalon applications Existing applications continue to work in Longhorn 19 CLI 390: Exploiting Windows Longhorn Features From Within Win 32/MFC Applications CLI 391: Windows Forms: Exploiting Windows Longhorn Features From Within Your Application

Call To Action Start on the transition to managed code by leveraging Windows Forms for applications being released before Longhorn Separate logic from visuals in your applications to facilitate enhancing/replacing look and feel in Longhorn Think about new products, opportunities, and experiences enabled by the Windows platform in Longhorn, based on the power of the client 20
