    @Marcelo, You can find the sample WPF code I've published in the code Gallery here http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ProjectName=crm4dpedemo&ReleaseId=1424. As far as releasing the application used in the "Dynamics Duo" video, we're using some 3rd party controls in there, so we need to figure out the licensing terms before we can release that. But you can download many more WPF samples at http://windowsclient.net/ and use the idea I've mentioned in the screencast to do CRM integration with WPF. Hope this helps, -Girish Raja.

    Hello Fatah, Here is the response I had from my team. "There are some custom implementations that mimic MDI but they have overridden all sorts of functionality to achieve that.  You can alternatively choose to make another approach to structure the interface as WPF supports scaling.  For example, some of the MDI effects can be achieved by mimicking PowerPoint where your “documents” are shown in small “previews” on the side of the window and activated when selected." I'd also strongly recommend you to post your question in WPF forums (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/wpf/threads/) to get feedback from the community.

    Hello Girish, I'm wondering if you have some respons from your team about the releasing of the application that is used in the "Dynamics Duo" video. I would even pay for the third party controls but very interested in the source code. Is there a possibility to release that??? Regards, Robert-Jan Smid

    Robert, Yes, there is a possibility of releasing this and I'm working on releasing it. It will be few more weeks before that can happen.Also as you mention, the WPF application does requires a separate license for the 3rd party control.
