New Post: SCSF & WPF differences when creating a project

tfierens — Sun, 17 May 2009 22:18:29 GMT

Hi all,

Just wondering if someone could tell me the differences between creating a regular SCSF project and one with the WPF smartpart are enabled.

Reason I ask is I'm pretty sure we created our SCSF application in .NET 2005 and now I would like to create an XPS viewer where I believe that in order to use this I create one but in a WPF smartpart, so I'm wondering what do I need to do in order to enable my existing SCSF application in order for it to support WPF smartparts?

Thanks.

Welcome to Smart Client WPF Community Site

This site is dedicated to the Smart Client Software Factory WPF Enabled mod.

This project is a modification of Microsoft Smart Client Software Factory to support building WPF based applications using Kent's WPF layer for CAB

About two weeks ago I’ve been requested by MCS Israel to adapt my Composite UI & SCSF mentoring & training to support the development of Composite UI applications based on WPF using Kents WPF layer.

SCSF provide lots of benefits to the Composite UI (CAB) developer and as such i've decided to modify the SCSF build-in recopies to support Kents layer and provide a rapid way of building Composite UI based on WPF applications.

The Software Factory pre requisites are the same as the original SCSF:
1. Microsoft Composite UI WPF Layer by Kent. - Note this is the WPF enabled CAB (You can download only the binaries from here)
2. Microsoft Enterprise Library 2.0
3. Microsoft Guidance Automation Extension
4. Microsoft Guidance Automation Toolkit - Needed only if you want to extend this factory.

I hope you will find this modification useful too.

Hi guys, if you set this directory to "C:\Program Files\SCSFWPF" or wherever you installed the SCSFWPF then it seems to work.

Cheers

NEW POST: How to do it?

Hi!

I'm really interested in getting started with CAB/SCSF for WPF, but i have no idea where to start - is there any kind of how-to or walkthrough out there?

NEW POST: Issue in the "New Project" Wizard

Arne_Janning — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 11:04:54 GMT

Exact same problem here. Did anybody find a way to get around this in the meantime?

I was trying to figure out which assembly actually drives that dialog so I could go to Reflector an see what is behind the scenes but I cannot find it.

Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards

Arne

Is the any chance of posting the source code for this. I am hesitant to use this without source code.

thanx

NEW POST: Issue in the "New Project" Wizard

Background

I'm trying to create a "Pure WPF CAB" example which means the shell form as well as the internal views are based on WPF instead of WinForm.

Issue Description

I downloaded the 1.01 version of this WPF factory.
After installation, a "Smart Client Development WPF" node is added to the "Guidance Packages" node of Visual Studio "New Project" dialog.
In this dialog,

I select the "Smart Client Development WPF" node
select the "Smart Client Application" template
specify the project name and location

Then I enters the "Creates a new WPF Smart Client Solution" page, in which I need to provide the CAB & Enterprise Library DLL's location and the Root namespace.

The issue exists in the "Location of CAB DLLs" edit box. The wizard doesn't acknowledge the CAB DLLs location that I specify by inputing the full path string or by using the "Browse for Folder" function. The edit box keeps empty and a red warning icon shows "The directory doesn't appear to contain the CAB DLLs". And the "Finish" button is disabled and gray.

Some information of my system:

OS: Windows XP English version, SP2 with all latest system patches applied.
IDE: VS 2005 SP1 with CAB, GAX, GAT, SCSF (2007 version that can create WPF views) installed to the default path.
.NET Framework version: 3.0
The directory of SCSF: "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Smart Client Factory". And the CAB DLLs location expected by the SCSF WPF Factory should be "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Smart Client Factory\Lib".

Does anybody happen to encounter the similar issue and could kindly let me know the solution?
Israeli, would you please help to have a look at this issue?

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,
XGardener
