This is great Kent!
Thanks for doing this.
I am having a problem running the sample application.
protected override sealed void CreateVisualizationShell()
{
RootWorkItem.Items.AddNew<VisualizerWindow>("VisualizerWindow").Show();
}

blows up as it is looking for some CabVisualizer.cs file in your desktop. I commented visualization in the sample app.config to run the project without the visualization and that works for now...but no visualization ;)

Glad you find this useful, smodak. If you download the latest source this problem should be fixed. Let me know if you still get it.

This is indeed great. But isn't Microsoft going to provide CAB over WPF as well? Maybe even adopt this product?

Looks very cool!

Thanks guys. I'm unsure whether MS intend to provide a WPF layer for CAB themselves. Indeed, I wrote this because I needed one and MS couldn't tell me whether they would be writing one. I don't think they can adopt this one, however, due to licensing and their internal policies.

Thank you Kent for working on this project! Till now Microsoft does not issue anithing like that. I really hope Pattern & Practices team will take a look at your job to avoid reinvent the wheel.

In the file CustomerMap.xaml use a Frame not a interop WebBrowserControl.
<Frame Name ="Browser" Padding="0,0,0,0"></Frame>
and in the file: CustomerMap.xaml.cs load the page with the command:
Browser.Source = new Uri(url);

At http://www.codeplex.com/smartclient Microsoft is saying that "Support & Guidance for Windows Presentation Foundation interoperability" is planned for an April update, but it is not clear what is meant.
I have created a feature proposal at the smart client issue tracker at http://www.codeplex.com/smartclient/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=8350.
Please consider voting for this issue.

Thanks for the info bennedik.

Bistok, the sample is just there for demonstration purposes. One of the things I wanted to show was explicit interop with winforms. To be honest, I'd be very surprised if the frame control isn't doing exactly the same thing behind the scenes.

Kent, this is David Platt. I've been working on a port of Smart Client SOftware Factory to WPF, using your DLLs as a base, and I'd like to discuss that with you. Can you ping me using the contact form at http://www.rollthunder.com/Contact/contactfrm.htm (spam spiders, y'know), I'll reply, and we'll go from there? Thanx.

Kent, thanks for the great work. I had a few issues integrating with Enterprise library (Specifically Caching). Had to recompile using Enterprise Library's ObjectBuilder. Did you do anything WPF specific in your ObjectBuilder? Regards.

Hi Peter,

No I did not modify ObjectBuilder apart from giving it a strong name. I suspect that there was a clash between the key used to sign Entlib and that used to sign WPF/CAB.

Hi Kent,

Just added the SCSFWPF (http://www.codeplex.com/scsfwpf) to codeplex.
The SCSFWPF is modification of SCSF to support you WPF implementation for building rapid WPF CAB based applications.

Ohad.

Thanks Ohad - that's great!
