一步一步学Silverlight 2系列(12):数据与通信之WebClient
概述
Silverlight 2 Beta 1版本发布了,无论从Runtime还是Tools都给我们带来了很多的惊喜,如支持框架语言Visual Basic, Visual C#, IronRuby, Ironpython,对JSON、Web Service、WCF以及Sockets的支持等一系列新的特性。《一步一步学Silverlight 2系列》文章带您快速进入Silverlight 2开发。
本文将介绍如何在Silverlight 2中使用Web Client进行通信。
简单示例
编写一个简单的示例,在该示例中,选择一本书籍之后,我们通过Web Client去查询书籍的价格,并显示出来,最终的效果如下:
编写界面布局,XAML如下:
<Grid Background="#46461F"> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="40"></RowDefinition> <RowDefinition Height="*"></RowDefinition> <RowDefinition Height="40"></RowDefinition> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition></ColumnDefinition> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <Border Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" CornerRadius="15" Width="240" Height="36" Margin="20 0 0 0" HorizontalAlignment="Left"> <TextBlock Text="书籍列表" Foreground="White" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="20 0 0 0"></TextBlock> </Border> <ListBox x:Name="Books" Grid.Row="1" Margin="40 10 10 10" SelectionChanged="Books_SelectionChanged"> <ListBox.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <StackPanel> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Height="32"></TextBlock> </StackPanel> </DataTemplate> </ListBox.ItemTemplate> </ListBox> <Border Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" CornerRadius="15" Width="240" Height="36" Background="Orange" Margin="20 0 0 0" HorizontalAlignment="Left"> <TextBlock x:Name="lblPrice" Text="价格:" Foreground="White" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="20 0 0 0"></TextBlock> </Border> </Grid>
为了模拟查询价格,我们编写一个HttpHandler,接收书籍的No,并返回价格:
public class BookHandler : IHttpHandler { public static readonly string[] PriceList = new string[] { "66.00", "78.30", "56.50", "28.80", "77.00" }; public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) { context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain"; context.Response.Write(PriceList[Int32.Parse(context.Request.QueryString["No"])]); } public bool IsReusable { get { return false; } } }
在界面加载时绑定书籍列表,关于数据绑定可以参考一步一步学Silverlight 2系列(11):数据绑定。
void UserControl_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { List<Book> books = new List<Book>() { new Book("Professional ASP.NET 3.5"), new Book("ASP.NET AJAX In Action"), new Book("Silverlight In Action"), new Book("ASP.NET 3.5 Unleashed"), new Book("Introducing Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX") }; Books.ItemsSource = books; }
接下来当用户选择一本书籍时,需要通过Web Client去获取书籍的价格,在Silverlight 2中,所有的网络通信API都设计为了异步模式。在声明一个Web Client实例后,我们需要为它注册DownloadStringCompleted事件处理方法,在下载完成后将会被回调,然后再调用DownloadStringAsync方法开始下载。
void Books_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e) { Uri endpoint = new Uri(String.Format("http://localhost:49955/BookHandler.ashx?No={0}",Books.SelectedIndex)); WebClient client = new WebClient(); client.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(client_DownloadStringCompleted); client.DownloadStringAsync(endpoint); } void client_DownloadStringCompleted(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e) { if (e.Error == null) { lblPrice.Text = "价格:" + e.Result; } else { lblPrice.Text = e.Error.Message; } }
注意大家可以在Web Application Project的属性页中,把ASP.NET Development Server的端口号设置为一个固定的端口号:
最后完整的代码如下:
public partial class Page : UserControl { public Page() { InitializeComponent(); } void UserControl_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { List<Book> books = new List<Book>() { new Book("Professional ASP.NET 3.5"), new Book("ASP.NET AJAX In Action"), new Book("Silverlight In Action"), new Book("ASP.NET 3.5 Unleashed"), new Book("Introducing Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX") }; Books.ItemsSource = books; } void Books_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e) { Uri endpoint = new Uri(String.Format("http://localhost:49955/BookHandler.ashx?No={0}",Books.SelectedIndex)); WebClient client = new WebClient(); client.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(client_DownloadStringCompleted); client.DownloadStringAsync(endpoint); } void client_DownloadStringCompleted(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e) { if (e.Error == null) { lblPrice.Text = "价格:" + e.Result; } else { lblPrice.Text = e.Error.Message; } } }
当我们选择其中一本书籍时,将会显示出它的价格:
