NetAdvantage CAB Extensibility Kit (NCEK)

Andrew Flick : Announcing the NetAdvantage CAB Extensibility Kit (NCEK)

"Announcing the NetAdvantage CAB Extensibility Kit (NCEK)

I'm happy to announce and finally acknowledge on a wide-scale, Infragistics support of Microsoft's Composite UI Application Block (CAB).  CAB is a method of composing complex user-interfaces in a way that is patterns driven and maintainable.  It was based on practices that Microsoft observed at major enterprises around the globe.  Infragistics has been involved with the CAB team for some time now and in October we actually spent some time out on the Redmond Campus with one of our architects (Andrew Smith) working in the Pattern and Practice's team Warroom.  In this time, we knew that all of our base controls: grids, editors, charts, etc. would function perfectly as part of smartparts inside a CAB application as is.  However, we really wanted to support CAB and improve the possibilities of a CAB application, so we shipped NCEK an extensibility kit that makes some of our controls function as workspaces and uiElement/command adapters.
