Documentation for Composite Application Guidance for WPF–June 2008

The Composite Application Guidance for WPF is designed to help you more easily build enterprise-level Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) client applications. It will help you design and build flexible composite WPF client applications—composite applications use loosely coupled, independently evolvable pieces that work together in the overall application.

What this guide covers:
• Key challenges in building composite applications and guidance on the solutions to solve these challenges
• Software design patterns applied in the Composite Application Library
• Candidate composite architecture that you can use to create your own baseline architecture
• Stock Trader Reference Implementation, which demonstrates an implementation of the baseline architecture
• Technical implementation details of the Composite Application Library
• How to design a UI for applications using the Composite Application Library
• Pointers to the Hands-On Lab, QuickStarts, and How-to topics on MSDN
