I use and love Strataframe but right now Microfour has decided to let Microsoft mature WPF for a while before reengineering the framwork for it. They have tested it extensively and found the performance hits at this point over what strataframe can do with serious data munging is just too great to justify it. There is also some scepticism about MS's 'flavor of the week'. I know that they are watching it closely and working with it outside the framework, but I think you'll find real professional framework developers are very focused on core functionality and performance.

I know they'd be happy to discuss this further and I'd recommend you drop in on the strataframe forum and ask questions ( I don't speak for Microfour, just passing on what I learned of their thoughts on WPF when taking the Strataframe training class in Amarillo last summer ) It is worth checking out in any case.


>>Take a look too at Strataframe - www.strataframe.net. It runs just under $700.00 US and includes UI stuff as well as back end.

>>>I have been looking at switching to .net from vfp. I have toyed with mm.net at bit but have not purchased it. I am the only developer at a medium size company and build in house apps. While mm.net looks great for the backend, it has nothing for the ui. I want to use WPF to make mainly UI's that look like winforms type apps for business but will use some WPF features for enhancements that aren't possible in winforms. We are actually on a spending freeze now but I want to use this time to check frameworks out. Are there any frameworks that handle both the backend and UI? Should I use mm.net and get a UI framework? Keep in mind the cost too. mm.net is something like $600-700 and then a UI framework for $???? and then Expression Blend on top of that all for something like$300-400. All makes me wish vfp was going to live.
