ClientUI enables you to take full advantage of the underlying power of the platform
and deliver rock solid and scalable application architecture that no other solutions
can achieve. Rapid client runtime application development with native MVVM framework
support and full-featured WPF compatible routed commands and events are two innovative
features available out-of-the-box in ClientUI.
Design innovative data driven applications by connecting the interface of your application
to backend business services and databases through the declarative XAML binding
feature. Unlock more possible scenarios, such as: loading an external XAP on demand
with the Applications Framework.
Delivering rich Silverlight business applications along with the WPF version? No
problem. The shared generic set of API ensures seamless cross platform development
using the same source code. ClientUI makes the delivery of such high-end applications
possible in realistic timeframes.
For Business Developers
Business developers typically aren't designers – they love to use the tools they
already familiar with, the Visual Studio development environment. ClientUI's rich
designer support enables the rapid development of business Silverlight solutions
without leaving the Visual Studio 2010 development environment. Easily jump start
a new project using professionally-designed project template and rapidly add new
items – all within Visual Studio. Use copy-paste to instantly duplicate repetitive
UI controls – ClientUI's smart designer intelligently knows where to put them properly.
And with 60 rich UI controls styled with Windows 7-theme in your toolbox, you have
everything you need to create your next-generation business solutions easily – without
dealing with tedious control templating or styling tasks.
For UX Designers
ClientUI is built by UX designers, for UX designers. And what matter the most for
a UX designer is the tool that work the way just as expected – taking the creative
idea all the way from concept to finished project. Pushing Expression Blend’s designer
capability beyond, ClientUI provides equally streamlined development workflow as
in Visual Studio 2010. Now, it is possible to create a sample data and bind it to
ClientUI’s databound controls, or automatically expand MenuBar’s menu when an item
is selected so you can have a quick visualization on the real result. Even better,
you can also interact with a Window object as if it is running in a browser.
All ClientUI® controls are built with Blendable™ standard, the strictest measurement
ensuring the most optimal control design when used in Expression Blend®. This means
that you can customize every detail of styles and templates in your most familiar
way.
For End Users
User is the most objective benchmark on your business application. The goal is to
provide an application that is easy to use, intuitive, and visually appealing with
subtle animations involved. ClientUI perfectly combines the strengths of powerful
core architecture and great user experience – producing commercial-class business
applications that every user loves to use. All ClientUI controls adopt the highest
usability compliance – providing the best user experiences out-of-the-box surpassing
users expectation. This includes input modality, focus scopes, access key, popup
and popover behaviors, keyboard visual focus, and much more.
