Topic:  Composite UI Application Block —Community Technical Preview

Earlier this month, you learned about existing application blocks.  Now learn about a new one coming down the pipe.

The Composite UI Application Block - Community Technical Preview application block is a reusable, source code–based component based on the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Beta 2. It provides proven practices to build complex smart client user interfaces based on well known design patterns such as the Composite pattern, in which simple user interface parts can be combined to create complex solutions, but at the same time allowing these parts to be independently developed, tested, and deployed.
