Application Framework

Outlook in 60 Minutes

 

To demonstrate many of the features of the eXpressApp Framework, we decided to create a demo that would mimic the feature set of Outlook - in parts, that is, as we left out the e-mail part completely. The demo is included in the distribution in source form (C# and VB.NET), if you want to build it yourself, and also as a compiled executable. This tutorial is a summary of the most important pieces of the demo, and it should not take you more than an hour to follow. We recommend you to follow these steps, to learn a great deal about the way the eXpressApp Framework works.

Once you want to know more than the basics, there is also a complete description of the functionality in the MainDemo project from the distribution, including the parts we have left out in this summary. You can find it in the documentation's Tutorial section.

If you want to use the demo from the distribution, be aware that you might need to configure a valid connection string for your database management system.

The tutorial comprises the following pages:
