Today we published the Composite Application Library for Composite UI Application Block developers guidance at Codeplex.
You can find the PDF in the CAL Getting Started page under the  section “Interested in Migrating from the Composite Application Block (CAB)?”.

This guidance will help those CAB developers that want to migrate their applications to the Composite Application Library and those who want to give it a try.

The guidance states the main reasons to migrate to the Composite Application Library for WPF and compares both libraries. This will help you to better understand how the concepts in CAB map to CAL.

The guidance includes code comparison, figures and comments. For example, the following figure compares the equivalent elements between the WPFQuickstart solution shipped with the Composite UI Application Block in the Smart Client Software Factory and the WPFQuickstart solution rewritten to use the Composite Application Library.

It also includes an interesting appendix which shows how to emulate WorkItems in CAL, using controllers with scoped containers.

We are looking forward to have feedback from your side on this guide in order to improve it before publishing it on MSDN.

I hope it helps,

Diego
