Smart Client Software Factory – Default Project Creation

Tuesday, November 3, 2009

Default Projects created by SCSF
When we create the new Smart Client Application, The SCSF creates the following projects by default. SCSC creates one Shell Projects and four Infrastructure projects.
Projects
1. Shell = This Shell project is the main starting point of the any windows based smart client application. It contains the configuration and the actual main form that hosts the shell layout.
2. Infrastructure.Interface = Interface project defines interfaces for basic services created by SCSF.
3.Infrastructure.Library = Library project contains the implementations of the additional services generated by SCSF.
4.Infrastructure.Module = Module is an empty module where you can add your own infrastructure services. By default, this module consists of an empty module controller (which is a default root WorkItem for a module). In this module, you should only add services used by the whole smart client application that is typically always loaded with your application independently of other modules.
5.Infrastructure.Layout = A Layout project SCSF creates if you selected that you want to put the shell’s layout into a separate module. It contains a SmartPart and a presenter for this SmartPart for the shell layout.
