An Application Framework For Developing WinForm Control Based On .NET Framework

According to the developing of software technique and improving of software industry, Component-Oriented programming theory is in progress continuously. The traditional way for developing products has unveiled limitation in WinForm Control developing domain under .NET Framework.This paper investigates the characteristic and the structure of .NET Framework and the principle of developing WinForm Control. Then, the limitation was found out. Author works out a solution for solving these problems after researching the principle and method of designing an Application Framework. The solution is that constructing a Domain-Specific Application Framework for WinForm Control developing under .NET Framework. That application framework named WCAF (WinForm Control Application Framework). WCAF constructs a View-Tree subsystem. There're three interface defined in this subsystem which are IContainer, IVisual and IMessage. Customs can implement these interface according different requirements. Besides, this paper also figures out three typically model: simple model, standard model and expandable model. They could be use for developing sample controls, complicated controls and integrated-needed controls.
