Measurement Unit Controls
Scientific measurements are complex and wide range of units are used everywhere, though conversions are not difficult but it is not possible to carry and remember all conversions and correct formulae.
UI Atoms 2010 v1.1 brings power of SI units conversion in set of following Measurement Unit Controls.
- AtomLengthEditor – helps in conversion of “Length” units.
- AtomTemperatureEditor – helps in conversion of “Temperature” units.
- AtomTimeEditor – helps in conversion of “Time” units.
- AtomVelocityEditor – helps in conversion of “Velocity” units.
- AtomVolumeEditor – helps in conversion of “Volume” units.
- AtomWeightEditor – helps in conversion of “Weight” units.
Currently, these controls offers very simple GUI as first draft, however you can see the number of units that are available that can help users view/edit the value in any desired unit.
There is lot of buzz about LOB Business Form Layout for new platforms WPF & Silverlight, both capable of displaying rich content and extend functionalities of existing components so better then ever before.
XAML is better then earlier Rapid Form designers where you need to drag and drop within an IDE and the layout management becomes so complicated because no IDE is perfect. I remember upgrading from Visual Studio 2005 to 2008 and now 2010, most of our ASP.NET and WinForm projects would require lot of effort to work seamlessly in newer versions. The worst of all is, modifying layout without IDE becomes way to difficult.
In this presentation, I collected all important aspects of Business Form that we encounter in our day to day life and the complexity of forms make life terrible when clients request changes that takes hours on any IDE that sure breaks lot of code graphs and makes existing working system as completely useless code junk.
In UI Atoms, we at NeuroSpeech tried make set of components that are very easy to operate while going through tough change management.
