Next version of Web Client Software Factory (WCSF)

We are planning on shipping a new version of the Web Client Software Factory in January or February 2008. The scope for this new version includes:

• bundles on CodePlex which include:
  • Composite Web Client Automation 
  • Composite Web Client Library
  • Contextual AutoComplete Bundle
  • MVP Bundle
  • Responsive Composite Web Client RI
  • Search Bundle
  • Validation Bundle
  • Modularity Bundle which we are currently working on
• documentation to tie it together
• run on Visual Studio 2008
• msi to install the factory

A number of you have been asking when will we provide Visual Studio 2008 support. This next release will address the known issues for WCSF running on Visual Studio 2008. For those that want and/or need to use Visual Studio 2008 now, you can refer to the knowledge base article on CodePlex.

In a previous blog post, I discussed the quality checkpoints that we go through for our deliverables. We are now focusing on the quality checkpoints required to make the factory an MSDN deliverable. This includes:

Security testing

Stress testing

Scalability testing (scale up and scale out)

Overhead testing

Once we complete the quality check points and finish documentation and the MSI, we will publish the release on MSDN.

  As I stated in my recent blog, the factory will support only Visual Studio 2008 and .NET 3.5. We will re-release the bundles to for Visual Studio 2005 and .NET 2.0 support.
