Acropolis CTP1 Released!

  • Bài viết

After many months, we can finally announce the public availibility of Acropolis! You can find the download here:  https://windowsclient.net/Acropolis. Acropolis is a framework that allows you to easily build modular applications for the Windows Client. You can think of it as being very similar to the Smart Client Software Factory, althought this one is on steroids! Just a side note, this is not going to be delivered through the Patterns and Practices group, it will be a supported offering and has its own team within Microsoft. That's great news for all of us who have been developing smart clients!

 

Features included in Acropolis CTP1 includes:

- Declarative Composition - allows you to declarative program the structure of application components

- Navigation support - manages activation and deactivation of components

- Document Life Time support - manages the life time of a document bject

- Layout Pane - Split style and tab style UI layout that leverages WPF

- Transition Animation - Prepackage transitions built on WPF

... and all these comes with Application Design Time Support!
