Is there a gallery type of website where you can see a variety of really well-designed (e.g. good looking + functional) WPF apps?

Tim,

Any thoughts on making this fit the MVVM pattern?

How about a Silverlight version, or a shared codebase that works on both?

Thx for the updates.

Refactoring the application to an MVVM design pattern is something we're actively considering for the next version: it's been exciting to see the growth of MVVM as a model for building applications like this and we think the transition of this codebase might make for an interesting "case study".

As far as the Silverlight version, it's not in our short-term plans, but it's definitely a possibility. Maybe after we've moved to MVVM :)

Have you thought about using Prism v2 for the next release so you could create a WPF/Silverlight version?

I don't seem to be able to use the ClickOnce version - the log says that the remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.

Is this because we use a proxy server that requires authentication and the ClickOnce mechanism isn't passing my credentials? If so, is there a configuration change I can make to get this to work?

Is there a website to find neat WPF applications? Like the Silverlight Showcase for Silverlight?

Greetings,

In v4, please try to add the following functionalities:

1. UNICODE compatible, even though GEDCOM isn't.

2. Show and print all trees/reports/charts.

3. Separate the date field into individual fields. Sometimes the year is known, or the month, but not the rest. Add an approximate value that allows for an ending range maybe?

4. Different calendars for different religions and languages.

5. Individual language field. If a non-English person marries an English-speaking person, their names should be in their own language.

6. Online collaboration. It doesn't have to be web-based (desirable), but P2P would be nice.

Any other features that the CodePlex forums mention.

Thanks!
