How my Silverlight PivotViewer demo was built August 3, 2010

This is an introduction to the next few posts. The demo should be found at http://houstoncip.blob.core.windows.net/cipcollection1/DFCPivotViewer.html  or failing that in my play area at http://www.nephmaster.com/Pivot/DFCPivotViewer.html. I’m not an expert (yet!). My purpose is to report my experience of what was easy and what wasn’t.

1. I made a “collection” (quite a lot of stumbling about).
2. I made a Silverlight host program (easy).
3. I tested it in my play area on GoDaddy (found a few gotchas).
4. I uploaded it to Windows Azure Blob Storage (more stumbling about).

Overall, after this experiment, I feel confident to take on a PivotViewer project as long as the quantities of data are small.
