Element-to-element binding
Silverlight 3 introduces new element binding feature that simplifies the binding
between multiple User Interface objects. Leveraging this new feature, you can now
easily populate CoverFlow items from various data sources – such as WcfDataSource
and DomainDataSource – with a simple declarative syntax.
Easy data binding to .NET RIA Services
Fine tuned to support .NET RIA Service, CoverFlow lets you instantly build a business
3-D multimedia presenter which connects to your database via DomainDataSource control.
Together with VirtualFlow™, CoverFlow delivers the smoothest cinematic experiences
by enabling users to flip through hundreds or thousands of items without performance
slowdown.
Out of Browser (OOB) support
CoverFlow now fully supports Out of Browser, a new feature in Silverlight 3 for
building RIA applications that run on the desktop. It enables the application to
be placed in a restricted store on the user’s machine; and then provide a link directly
to it from the user’s desktop or start menu for quick access.
