Composite UI Application Block

  Home Page

Categories:	Rich client UI
Author:	Microsoft
Latest version:	December 2005 RTW
Description:	Reusable, source code–based component based on the .NET Framework 2.0 that provides practices to build smart client user interfaces based on design patterns such as the Composite pattern, in which simple user interface parts can be combined to create complex solutions, but at the same time allowing these parts to be independently developed, tested, and deployed. This application block is designed to support the development of smart client line-of-business applications such as the ones found in the following scenarios: - Online transaction processing (OLTP) front-ends, in areas such as stock distribution centers or data entry applications - Rich client portals to back-end services, such as portals to government services or bank teller applications - UI intensive information-worker standalone applications, such as those used by call center staff, IT support desks, or stock traders It facilitates the design and implementation of your client applications in three areas: - It allows your application to be based on the concept of modules or plug-ins. - It allows developers with shell expertise to build components that hide user interface complexity from the business logic development. - It facilitates development using patterns for loose coupling between modules.

PocketNerd WizardEngine

  Home Page

Categories:	Rich client UI
Author:	Richard Stockley
Latest version:	1.1.83.0
Description:	The PocketNerd WizardEngine (Pwiz Engine) provides a way to create Windows Forms-based Wizards that can be launched: - as a modal or non-modal dialog from within your own application - as a standalone executable that runs in its own process, just like any other application - as a custom wizard from within the Visual Studio .NET IDE Each of the three types of wizard above is implemented in exactly the same way and requires minimal "boilerplate" wizard coding to be used. All of the coding required to create a class library, Windows application or Visual Studio .NET-based Wizard is the business specific code that pertains to the wizard.

Smart Client Software Factory

  Home Page

Categories:	Rich client UI
Author:	Microsoft
Latest version:	April 2008
Description:	The Smart Client Software Factory (SCSF) helps architects and developers create composite smart client applications based on the Composite UI Application Block. A composite smart client application is made up of a number of discrete, independent, yet functional pieces. These pieces are integrated together within a host environment (such as a Windows Form application) to form a fully coherent smart client solution. The factory provides tools (Visual Studio 2008 extensions), examples, how-tos and documentation on building these winforms applications. Only previous versions support Visual Studio 2005.

Bindable LINQ

  Home Page

Categories:	Rich client UI
Latest version:	1.0 Beta 1
Description:	Set of extensions to LINQ that add data binding and change propagation capabilities to standard LINQ queries. As well as propagating change, Bindable LINQ can analyse your queries at runtime and detect any dependencies your query has. If these dependencies provide events to subscribe to, Bindable LINQ will automatically monitor them for change. The aim of Bindable LINQ is to be fully compatible with LINQ to Objects, at least where it makes sense. This currently includes support for operations such as Where, Select, GroupBy and Union. Aggregates, such as Sum, Min, Max and Average, are also supported. Designed for Windows Presentation Foundation, Silverlight, and Windows Forms. Previous name: SyncLINQ
