Programming - WPF Windows Mailing list Software
WPF is a very robust framework for the development of
visually compelling software. It is the next stage in GUI
design as its based on the XAML markup language which decouples
alot of the presentation layer from the business logic. It
requires
.NET 3.5 to run.
To demonstrate its GUI elements and how potentially it can
be used to replace simple
Windows Forms application, we have created 'Emailer'. It is
a software development endevour which has been done previously,
but we wanted to demonstrate a few examples such as:
- XAML
- Serialization
- Simple IO
- Exception Handling
- Events
in one application.
Emailer is a piece of software which acts as a mail client
but outbound only. It allows you to import a flat file of email
addresses on seperate lines and send an email to every one of
the addresses. Its quick and its efficient.
It uses techniques such as events and XML serialization to
accomplish the task. A screen shot is provided below:
