The fastest way to get started with ClientUI-enabled Silverlight and WPF application is by creating new projects based on several predefined project templates that shipped with ClientUI. This topic discusses the project templates available in ClientUI, such as MVVM project template, website project template, business navigation template, and more.
Visual Studio includes numerous project templates to help developers quickly getting started with the project using the rich development environment. A project template typically contains several project items such as main pages and standard configuration files, which makes application development easier and faster.
To create a new project using project template in Visual Studio, select the File menu then choose the New Project command.
The following illustration shows the New Project dialog box in Visual Studio 2010.
ClientUI includes numerous project templates that are exclusively designed for Visual Studio 2010 and specifically targeting Silverlight 3 and Silverlight 4 application development. By default, the ClientUI project templates are automatically integrated into the Visual Studio upon installation.
You can see the ClientUI project templates for Silverlight in the New Project dialog box, under the Intersoft Solutions node in the left pane such as shown in the following illustration.
 |
The ClientUI project templates are also registered in each built-in platform nodes that comes from Visual Studio. For example, you can find the ClientUI project templates in the Silverlight node under the Visual C# node. |
Each ClientUI project template is built to achieve different key scenarios, which are explained in the following sections.
This project template creates a blank Silverlight project with complete ClientUI assembly references. Choose this project template to start a new Silverlight project from scratch. This project template includes a main page and an application metadata file.
Choose this project template to start a new MVVM-pattern application. This template includes base model, view model, and navigation frame to let you quickly start with your new MVVM project.
Choose this project template to create a website navigation application. This template includes predefined navigation frame and several pages with professional clean design. Several user interface controls such as content reflector, button and hyperlinks are used to demonstrate a website scenario.
Choose this project template to create an advanced application-style navigation. This template employs modern design with predefined navigation frame, several icons and pages to represent each module, and compelling visual transition.
Choose this project template to create business application that uses navigation and MVVM-pattern such as customer management or products inventory. This template automatically creates server-side web application to provide built-in users and authentication functionality which is consumed in the client template. This project template uses WCF RIA Service for data access and connectivity. It uses WCF Authentication Service and built-in ASP.NET user database for login and roles management.
Choose this project template to create rich, next-generation user experiences. This template includes a semi-finished application that uses multiple windows, desktop and dock to provide compelling user interface. You can rapidly add new window and associate to the button to launch the window.
Choose this project template to create a navigation application with minimalist yet elegant style. This template employs modern design with predefined navigation frame, several icons and pages to represent each module complete with compelling visual transition.
Choose this project template to create data-aware application that uses WCF RIA as the data service. This template includes a set of interfaces and ready-to-use base classes for rapidly building data view that supports server data retrieval and transactions. It automatically creates a server-side web application that contains a Northwind sample database and domain services.
