The Smart Client Software Factory includes the source code and signed assemblies for the Composite UI Application Block. The source code matches the code in the Composite UI Application Block – December 2005 release.
The software factory contains the following additions to the original documentation and code:
- Overview description. The documentation provides a summary of the key features of the application block in the topic Overview.
- Extensions to support WPF. The source code includes a new project, CompositeUI.WPF, that extends the application block. This project contains workspaces, a custom ObjectBuilder strategy, and more, to support the integration of Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) controls in smart client applications that you create with the software factory. For a description of the extensions, see Composite UI Application Block Extensions for WPF.
- WPF Integration QuickStart. The software factory includes a QuickStart that demonstrates use of the WPF extensions in a simple application. For a description of the QuickStart and instructions about how to build and run it, see Windows Presentation Foundation Integration QuickStart.
