WPF Support in Smart Client Software Factory v2
May 10th, 2007
Read Miguel’s post about the upcoming support for WPF.
There is no black magic. Simply you will be able to treat WPF smartparts as you treated Winforms smartpart (i.e. dependency injection will apply).
Also you will get a recipe to add a WPF view with a presenter.
People who invested in CAB will have a smooth migration path from Winforms to WPF and a familiar programming model.

Matias,
Will there be a pure WPF version in the future, that is, without interop to Win32 for applications that don’t need Win32? Does the interop hinder performance?

Chris,
There are no plans to do that. Anyway there is a healthy wpf layer for cab here

Thanks for your response Matias. I am a regular reader of your blog. I am familiar with Kent Boogaart’s WPF layer for CAB and have been using it for awhile. I’ll be sure to check out SCSF v2 when it comes out

I’ll just add that i’ve recently released SCSFWPF which is available on http://www.codeplex.com/scsfwpf which does produce pure wpf version based on the wpfcab.

Nice article. I would like to know the procedure to bind the datasource to a view-with-WPF(Presenter).
I could able to bind datasource to View(Presenter) i.e., windows view but not to WPF view….
Please let me know if I am missing to add something important for binding.
Also, do let me know how can I add Infopath form (or say a simple form) to my shell. The form will be using Webservice Software Factory.
My question boils down to how can I integrate SCSF with form containing WSSF.
Thanks in advance
