SCSF Sample Application and Demo Script published on Smart Client Contrib

ejadib — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 16:30:42 GMT

We have just published a new SCSF sample application on the Smart Client Contrib project. We have published also a demo script that provides step-by-step instructions to create a SCSF application. The goal of this demo script is to help presenters give a presentation that illustrates the main aspects of SCSF such as WorkItems, Commands, EventBroker, Services, Workspaces and the Dependency Injection pattern.

The application consists of two Business Modules:

Notifications module: this module populates the Main Menu Strip of the Shell with two items and adds them as invokers of the DumpWorkItem and ShowNews commands respectively. It also adds two views to the Shell.
Stocks module: this module shows BuyStock and Reports SmartParts in the the Shell.

The Shell is made up of two Workspaces: an OutlookBarWorkspace (the one in the right) and a DockPanelWorkspace (the one in the left). These workspaces are in the SCSF contrib project too.

Enjoy this new sample.
