Calcium consists of a client application and server based WCF services, which allow interaction and communication between clients. Out of the box, Calcium comes with a host of modules and services, and an infrastructure that is ready to use in your next application.



The following is a list of just some of Calcium’s features:

• Visual Studio templates for instantly creating Calcium projects, including client applications, MVVM Module Templates, and server WCF host projects. (C# and VB.NET!)
• Module Manager for enabling or disabling of modules at runtime.
• Theme Support (with two themes included)
• Duplex messaging services for interacting with the user from the client or server using the same API. Interact with the user using Message Boxes from the server!
• A Command Service to associate WPF ICommands with content interfaces that only become active when an active view or viewmodel implements the interface.
• Region Adapters for ToolBars and Menus.
• Client-server logging ready to work out-of-the-box.
• Includes modules, such as a Web Browser, Text Editor, Output Window, and many more.
• Tabbed interface with dirty file indication (reusable across modules).
• A User Affinity module that assists collaboration with other users of the application.
• Undo/Redo/Repeat task management system.
• And many more!
