Using Sencha Architect 3 with visual studio 2012

Question

I am about to make a new project, where the frontend has to be using Extjs and the backend has to be using C#. I need some kind of MVC structure. As I am completely new to Extjs and Sencha, I was wondering if it was possible to use sencha architect 3 along with visual studio, such that I am able to write the backend code in Visual Studio 2012 and the frontend code in sencha arctitecture.

Basicly I am interrested in article or help in generel about how I get the two applications to interact.

I hope you can help, thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The development of the backend and the frontend are quite independent.

The MVC structure for ExtJs is defined very clearly. For this study the docs. Start here , and then read the Tutorials section ( App Architecture Part 1-3 ). Stick as much as you can to the recommandations. Also try out sencha cmd to build your apps.

The interaction between ExtJs and the backend is defined in the proxy settings you are using. Basicly, ExtJs is sending a ajax request (maybe GET, POST or RESTful) to the backend, and receives the data in JSON encoded form.
