Updated Release: Calcium for Windows Phone V1.0 (Mar 23, 2012)

DanielVaughan — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 16:44:35 GMT

Calcium for Windows Phone is a consolidation of the infrastructure code that has been written for the book Windows Phone 7.5 Unleashed, and is already used by a number of published apps.

Some of Calcium for Windows Phone features include:

A user option's system that allows you to add a settable option to an options page, with a single line of code.
A bindable application bar with toggle buttons and menu items, hyperlink button/menu items, which allows you to host multiple application bars in a Pivot.
Built-in support for localization. Bindable resources allows the user to change the interface language at run-time.
An IoC container and DI infrastructure, and templates to allow you to hide or show a Purchase link in your app depending on the • Trial state of your app and so forth.
Templates for Views with ViewModels.
Attribute based state persistence system.
Message service that allows you to display messages and ask the user questions from your ViewModel.
Launchers and Choosers abstraction layer.
Input Validation system, with styles customized for displaying validation errors.

And much more!

Unlike Calcium for WPF and Silverlight, Calcium for Windows Phone does not depend on Prism and has a smaller footprint, more suitable for the mobile platform.
