With little Chinese naming ingenuity I present to you Office® 2010, the proper non-Chinese name being Officer 2010, in Silverlight 3. It is based on the the new opening screen in Microsoft Office 2010, and designed specifically to showcase nRoute Containers which I blogged about in my last post.
First, below are some of the reference screenshots from Microsoft Office 2010 apps.
And next are some screen captures of the demo app.
To view the actual Silverlight sample, click here - it requires the Silverlight 3 runtime. As far as creating the application is concerned, I did it over two days using Visual Studio and Blend 3 Preview.
Do note this is not a functional application per se, and is not designed to mimic Microsoft Office Suite functionality - it is again, produced to demonstrate the concepts pertinent to nRoute. And since I've never used Office 2010, I can't speak to either the visual-accuracy or behaviour-similarity, plus the lack of fit and finish is quite obvious. Also, you will often run into the acknowledging request balloons, and by clicking the "Back" button up-top it will "showcase" an error - by design.
