Longhorn, Another New Possibility - Longhorn Application Architecture

(Page 4 of 5 )

Let's talk a little about Applications Architecture in Longhorn.

Because Longhorn is a Managed Operating System (actually the first one) and it is developed using Managed Code, its applications will also be developed using OOP concepts. The core Class in Longhorn is called the Application class, and this class is the root class for the applications that you will develop for Longhorn. This class contains Methods, Properties and Events which give you a new way to program under Longhorn.

Using the application class, you will create markup pages like HTML but which are better customized to work for the Longhorn Application Model. These pages will not only give you the power to create your Windows-based applications, they will still contain markup that a browser can understand. In the same way as the Object class in .NET supports basic functionality of an object, the Application class supports basic functionality for any application that can run on Longhorn.
