What is Prism?


Prism is a framework or the set of guidelines which is used to develop  Composite or Complex applications specific to WPF, Silverlight or Windows Phone.
 
It's a kind of Design Pattern to develop XAML based applications.  Prism mainly helps to design the Loosely Coupled components which can be easily integrated with other components of the application. It uses modularity and allows to break application into pieces can be called as Modules.
 
Prism uses design patterns like MVVM, Command Pattern, Dependency Injection (DI) and Inversion of Control (IoC) and Separation of Concerns to achieve Loosely Coupling.
Prism has the following advantages over other frameworks.
Reusability, Extensibility, Flexibility, Team Collaboration, Fault Tolerance, Maintainability and Modularity.

Prism has 5 main components:
1) Shell: Template that Defines structure of the UI. Shell can contains several regions.
2) Regions: Regions are used to specify specific portion of shell as elements to inject view at runtime.
3) Modules: These are major functional areas of the application. Each module need to be independent of other.
4) Views: Modules contains number of views. Usually, We implement MVVM pattern in views component.
5) Bootstrapper: This component is responsible for Creating Shell and initializing application.


To use the Prism in our application, we need to use the library called as Prism Library.

What's Virtual DOM?

There’s no big difference between the regular DOM and the virtual DOM. It’s better to think of the virtual DOM as React’s local and simplified copy of the HTML DOM. It allows React to do its computations within this abstract world and skip the real DOM operations, often slow and browser-specific. Real DOM operations are really really expensive. The Virtual DOM is an abstraction of the HTML DOM. It is lightweight and detached from the browser-specific implementation details.  One thing you should remember that the DOM itself was already an abstraction. So, Virtual DOM is an abstraction of an abstraction. :)

ASP.NET Dynamic Compilation

In ASP.NET Web Applications, When we request a page it must parse and compile the code of Web Application into one or more assemblies. When the code is compiled, it's translated into a language independent and CPU independent code, that's MSIL code. When we create an ASP.NET page, actually creating the source code for a .NET class. We are creating a new instance of the System.Web.UI.Page class.The entire contents of an ASP.NET page, including all script and HTML content, are compiled into a .NET class. When request an ASP.NET page, ASP.NET Framework checks for a .NET class that corresponds to that page. If a corresponding class does not exist, the Framework automatically compiles the page into a new class and stores the compiled class (the assembly) in the Temporary ASP.NET Files folder. The Temporary ASP.NET files folder located at : \WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files The next time anyone requests the same page in the future, the page is not co...
