Defining Dependencies Between Components 

Use

You package business and UI functionality into components. To make use of the reusable units of code in these components, one component declares the use of another component. This forms a parent-child relationship between the two components, in which the child’s interface controller is the point of interaction. As soon as the parent component, declares the use of the child component, the parent-component controller has access to the functionality in the child component’s interface controller.

Using the Development Component Editor, you define the dependencies between the components in your project:

●      Mobile Service Components

●      Mobile UI Components

●      Mobile Applications

Prerequisites

You have created one or more development components.

Alternatively, on the Dependencies tab page of the Development Component Editor, choose to Add a dependency.

       2.      In the Adding Dependencies dialog box, select the appropriate Mobile Service and UI Components from the component tree.

       3.      Add further dependencies if necessary (optional).
