SILVERLIGHT AND WPF DEVELOPERS: WHAT CAN CLIENTUI DO FOR YOU?
|
|
ClientUI is Intersoft's next-generation user interface library for Microsoft client
platform, the Silverlight and WPF. Featuring generic set of APIs and robust framework,
ClientUI is the world's first unified development toolset for Silverlight and WPF
development platform.
|
|
Beyond just a set of components, ClientUI takes Silverlight development to a whole
new level by putting together MVVM-ready framework, supercharged navigation framework
with nested navigation support and role-based authentication, WPF-style routed command
and events and powerful, easy-to-use drag-drop controls. And with over 60 rich UI
controls with strict ISO-standards conformance, now you can quickly and rapidly
create any types of rich Silverlight applications where your creativity is the only
limit.
|
|
Since ClientUI resembles a wide range of feature-sets ranging from architecture
to development to runtime, it gives all the tools needed for different type of users.
Let's take a look at what ClientUI can do.
|
FOR SYSTEM ARCHITECT
MVVM-ready framework, full-featured WPF-compatible routed commands and routed events,
powerful binding engine supporting declarative XAML binding and delegate commands
are something system architects have wanted for long. System architect will be also
delighted with full API compatibility that we invent to 100% identical to the API
available in WPF, such as EventManager, CommandManager, Keyboard, Mouse, FocusManager
and much more. Advanced frameworks such as Application Framework are also included
to enable key scenarios such as loading external XAP, so you can create applications
that truly scale.
|
|
|
The end result is obvious – you can now prepare your application architecture
to be easily interoperable between Silverlight and WPF platform. Technically speaking,
a simple project type upgrading and copy-paste should do the migration without a
total overhaul.
|
FOR BUSINESS DEVELOPERS
Business developers typically aren't designers – they love to use the tools
they already familiar with, the Visual Studio development environment. Thanks to
the ClientUI's rich designer support, now you can rapidly create business Silverlight
solutions without leaving the Visual Studio 2010 development environment. Easily
jump start a new project using professionally-designed project template and rapidly
add new items – all within Visual Studio. Use copy-paste to instantly duplicate
repetitive UI controls – ClientUI's smart designer intelligently knows where
to put them properly.
|
|
|
And with 60 rich UI controls styled with Windows 7-theme in your toolbox, you have
everything you need to create your next-generation business solutions easily –
without have to deal with tedious control templating or styling tasks.
|
FOR UX DESIGNERS
ClientUI is built by UX designers and for UX designers. What's matter the most for
a User Experiences designers is tools that work the way just as they expected –
enabling them to intuitively create rich user experiences from ideas, concept to
finished project. With ClientUI designer extension – the first and the only
UI toolset that pushes the Expression Blend® designer capability to the limit
– you can now design rich experiences in the WYSIWYG fashion. This means that
you can easily create a sample data and bind it to ClientUI's databound controls,
select an item in MenuBar automatically opens the menu to have a quick visualization
on what the results look like, or even interact with the Window control as if it
were running in the browser.
|
|
|
All ClientUI® controls are built with Blendable™ standards, our strict
measurement to ensure the most optimal control design when used in Expression Blend®.
This means that you can customize every detail of the styles and templates using
the same way and manner you already familiar with.
|
FOR END USERS
At the end of day, everything you've built is to be used by end users. Your application
will only really succeed if end users love to use it – this means that your
application should be easy to use, intuitive, fast and responsive, yet visually
appealing with subtle animations included.
|
|
|
ClientUI® helps you create commercial-class application interfaces that your
end users will love to use since day one – from Windows 7 style user interface,
Leopard-style desktop interface to stunning iPhone and iPad interface.
|
|
Thanks to the built-in, strict standards-compliance usability features – all
the ClientUI controls you used automatically deliver the best user experiences they
expected in a next-generation RIA application. This includes input modality, focus
scopes, access key, popup and popover behaviors, keyboard visual focus, and much
more. And better yet, you don't write codes to use these features – it's already
the nature of ClientUI controls.
