I have an old (9 years) Windows application that I'm going to work on bringing up to date.* I am using VS 2008 Pro.* Of course I could make it into a WinForms application, and that would be quicker for me to do, but I would like to try making it in WPF.* However, I've never written a WPF app, and this one is complicated.* Currently it is a multiple document interface (MDI), which the users are adament that the new version also be an MDI.* I've asked around and found out that WPF does not have a MDI like window/form.* Someone else in this forum has said that I could probably roll my own.* That's a nice idea, but given my time constrains and work load, I do not have the time to become a guru at WPF.* I really need to have those things provided so that all I have to do is drag-and-drop onto the form and wire up the events (ideally).
A colleague has recommended that I use Microsoft's Smart Client Software Factory.* I am downloading it and will be looking carefully at it, to see if it will give me what I need.* However, I see that the Smart Client Software Factory came out in May 2007, and VS 2008 was recently released.* I realize that this question is going to expose my gross ignorance, but* here goes: will the Smart Client Software Factory work with VS 2008, or will I have to do some tweaking with it in order to make it work?
