CODE Framework: WPF Standard Themes
Last updated: Monday, October 6, 2025
Published in: VFP Conversion Papers, Markus Egger Talks Tech, CODE Magazine: 2013 - September/October
Markus Egger surveys CODE Framework’s WPF standard themes, arguing that developers can rapidly build visually consistent, flexible applications by using ready-made themes rather than crafting UI from scratch. He inventories themes (Battleship, Metro, Workplace, Vapor, Geek) and highlights their layout automation, dynamic theme switching, and shared features like automatic view layouts, data templates, notifications, and printing.

This time, we are going to look at a completely different area of the framework: Creating business logic and middle tiers as SOA services. SOA is the cornerstone of many modern applications, creating systems that are more maintainable, flexible, and suitable for a wide range of scenarios, ranging from Windows to Web and Mobile scenarios using a wide variety of technologies, and outperforming conventional multi-tiered applications in a range of metrics. Using CODE Framework, it also becomes easy and extremely productive to build SOA layers.
