Composite UI Application Block Framework
The Composite UI Application Block (CAB) framework is intended for large
WinForms-based applications. The three major goals of CAB design are:
- Modularity - you can implement business logic, visual SmartParts,
infrastructure components, presenter or controller components, and any other objects the
application requires, in separate modules.
- Productivity - Developer productivity increases
because each developer (or team) is able to concentrate on a specific task.
The use of consistent user interfaces increases end-user productivity in
applications built using Composite UI Application Block, reducing the
end-user training requirements when releasing a new application.
- Extensibility - the design of the Composite UI
Application Block promotes extensibility in many different ways
