Silverlight & WPF Skins

While we develop Silverlight & WPF Molds in Sculpture we build a complete skins for them, I extracted them from the project so the users can use it directly without installing Sculpture .

• Silverlight Skin: We migrate corrinab Skin to Silverlight 2, adding skin for the grid and combo box.
  

• WPF Skin: We enhance Family Show Skin, adding skin for the new WPF grid, and new skin for the menu.

Download the whole WPF project from here.
Download the whole Silverlight project from here.

Notes:

• Installing Sculpture is not required to run the samples.

• Just run the DBScript.sql into empty database and change the connection string.

Testimonial From Jezz Santos-Microsoft to Sculpture

Dear Sculpture Team,

Thank you for the opportunity to review Sculpture.
Although I have not had a chance to install and operate it, it does look from the outset to be an exciting project, and one that appears to have created a valuable set of architectural assets and framework for as a basis for MDD and automation integration.

I wish you the best of luck on its adoption, evolution and future successes.

Regards

We are proud of these words from one who presents a lot to Microsoft and Software Factories.

Thank you Jezz, and we will work hard and smart to put sculpture as a big step in the MDD track.
