ClientUI

Key Features

* Deliver cross-platform business applications in a single sprint: ClientUI is built to simplify line-of-business application development that target the web and desktop at one time using the same source code. At the heart of each ClientUI control is a generic set of interoperable API for both Silverlight and WPF development and powered by the powerful ClientUI Framework. The result is high-quality business applications that run inside and outside the browser. * Support M-V-VM Development Pattern: The key advantage of MVVM is the clear separation of the User Interface (View) from the business object and behaviors (ViewModel) and from the data layer (Model). Your code becomes easier to write, read, test, maintain and scale. ClientUI includes a powerful yet high-performance library to facilitate a real-world M-V-VM pattern application development, including routed events, delegate command, command reference, navigation and dialog box service provider, and an easy-to-use binding library. This enables user interface designers and application developers to focus at what they are best, then quickly snap the two halves into a professional and compelling data-driven business application. * WPF-style Silverlight Development: Despite being a subset of WPF, building a basic line-of-business Silverlight application could be a tedious task which requires a great deal of effort and codes due to the lack of essential application frameworks such as commanding and MVVM. Revolutionizing the Silverlight development, ClientUI introduces full-featured event routing and commanding framework. Combined with MVVM pattern, you can write the logic of a command in a separated layer and bind them through command binding in the view level. No events wiring, no codes rewrite, and no more redundancy. * Powerful Frameworks and Elegant Architecture: The ClientUI control library is built on top of powerful frameworks and rock-solid architecture enabling various UI challenges to be addressed in an elegant and efficient manner. The powerful frameworks – such as event routing, commanding, binding, fluid drag-drop, journal-aware navigation with deep link support, and MVVM – are thoughtfully engineered in a way that enables them to be highly reusable and can be easily consumed in both Silverlight and WPF projects without major code changes. * Rich Design-time Support for Visual Studio and Expression Blend.
