Project Description
The DevForce Application Framework makes it easy to get started with developing data-driven Rich Internet Applications (RIA) in Silverlight or WPF desktop applications, with Caliburn Micro as the MVVM framework and DevForce 2010 as the data access layer.
Announcing Cocktail
The DevForce Application Framework is now better than ever … only now we call itCocktail.
Cocktail removes some of the complexity and obsolete concepts found in the DevForce Application Framework and is where we are focusing our development efforts moving forward.
If you've built an application using the DevForce Application Framework, please refer to the
Cocktail transition guide to learn how to move your project to Cocktail. If you have not started a project with the DevForce Application Framework, please do not. Use Cocktail instead.
We now consider the DevForce Application Framework to be a legacy framework but we'll continue to host it here in order to support existing applications.
