Paul,

I don’t have any plans at this time for holding another competition, but I might decide to at some point.

Hi Josh,

Greetings! It’s nice to know that such contests exist. However, I just read this blog post a few days ago and wasn’t able to to join anymore. Will there be another contest for WPF?

Hey Josh, just to clarify… Although I submitted my application on behalf of the company I work for (Industry Next) - I was 100% the only developer to work on this application. Just saying because after reading over the submission blurb, I realized it sounded kinda like a corporate team project which is not the case. I guess you could say it was a corporate sponsered excercise - which is hopefully allowed in the contest.

Hello.

I am creating a Office style workspace with a Simple Ribbon and floating Windows everything in Partial Trust.

Future decisions:
- ToolWindows Maximization and Minimization;
- Full workspace colorization;
- Create template for more controls such Button, Combobox, etc;

Preview: http://www.assergs.com/wpf

Thanks

I created a simple animation that usually would have been done using something like Flash.
http://dnafor.net/Misc/Unir1.XAMLBrowserApplication/Unir1.XAMLBrowserApplication.xbap
I’ve written a lot of code for the .NET framework, but nothing for animations, so it was interesting how far I could get with Expression Design and Blend. I’ve only scratched the surface, and will make the animation better and more interactive as time goes on.

P.S. The uniNetwork logo in the animation is the letter “u” and “i” together as 1, symbolizing UNIR1 (you and I are one).

Thanks

IndustryNext, a technology and design firm which delivers innovative products and services to clients and consumers would like to submit a word game for the WPF challenge. The purpose of this project was to explore the technical possibilities of WPF, to gain experience in WPF’s strengths and weaknesses, and to create a sample application which can be used for demonstration purposes. IndustryNext does not plan to release the source code at this time but the lead developer on the project, Johnny Turpin, will answer any technical questions regarding the game’s implementation.

A simple guide can be found by typing “/help” in the command line box under the text output window.
