(Using Expression Blend 3 and Visual Studio 2008 express)
I gather that the code in the constructor of a class is run when that class is instantiated from xaml, but how far can you go?
What if that constructor instantiated another class which ran methods in it’s constructor?
What are the rules?
I’m thinking out loud here, but say I am designing a UI for a piece of external hardware connected by some protocol/library which takes the data from the device and stores it as dependency properties in memory. Can I have the code that is needed to get the data off the hardware running while I am designing?
That “Add live data source” button on the Data tab looks promising but I don’t know…
