We started this effort a month ago and now we have a v1!

The team conformed by Kent Boogaart, Bil Simser, Ward Bell, Chris Holmes, Ezequiel Jadib and myself worked together to get a decent release out!
The package includes the following:

• WPF CAB Layer
  A full implementation of the UI layer for CAB with 100% code coverage! 
• Outlook Bar Workspace & Quickstart
  This is a workspace that provides a user experience like the Outlook Navigation bar. It allows the developer to add a smartpart to it with a SmartPartInfo that provides information like the icon and the text of the button
• CAB Visualizer (requires WPF)
  A CAB Visualizer is a tool that you can use to understand what happens behind the scenes in any CAB application. It will show the skeleton of workitems, smartparts, workspaces, commands, event topics and services
• BankTeller Quickstart rewritten using SCSF 2007 and Winforms smartparts
• BankTeller Quickstart using SCSF 2007 and WPF smartparts

The CAB Visualizer is soo cool. It will help both newbies and experts to understand better what is happening behind the scenes on a CAB application.

Download the binaries or the source code from the codeplex site!

Now that the Outlook Bar is finally in scsf contrib I will close codeplex.com/cabextensions.
