Nice examples. I don't do web apps (yet...shame 'cause I think it would definitely be more profitable!) but for the desktop apps, I don't see this as necessary. Cool perhaps, yes, but my core focus is desktop apps for business. That's not a knock--I did appreciate your examples. So WPF for web apps, sure...but what about desktop apps? I'm trying to think of similar examples to yours and I'm coming up blank (...not that that's hard...I've got a lot going on today and it's my last day of the work week!). -- Mike Babcock, MCP MB Software Solutions, LLC President, Chief Software Architect http://mbsoftwaresolutions.com http://fabmate.com http://twitter.com/mbabcock16 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
