Nukeation Machine UI Design Assistance for Visual Studio 2008
Reusability
Developers tend to spend a lot of time recreating the same pieces of UI over and over again. An example of this are the OK / Cancel buttons.
To help avoid having to recreate such UI bits, nukeationMachine provides a complete reusability platform where any controls on your design surface – whether your project uses Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Forms, and ASP.NET – can be stored as UI Bits, and with a single click can be recreated on any new project.
nukeationMachine ships with three massive libraries for all three major design surfaces – WPF, Windows Forms, and ASP.NET – containing all common UI Bits that all developers use frequently. The library can be extended easily by creating your own UI Bits. The creation process is very simple and can be completed with only a few clicks.
Work on every UI Design Surface
nukeationMachine works across the three primary design surfaces the .NET Platform and Visual Studio 2008 have to offer: Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Forms, and ASP.NET.
You can work across these platforms and work in both current and previous frameworks!
Cross-language Support
Nukeation Machine uses the proprietary NxC core from the Nukeation Research Lab to store your UI Bits in a language agnostic storage format, so any UI Bits created in one language (for example, Visual Basic) can be used in other languages as well (for example, Visual C++, Visual C#, Visual J#, etc.) as long as you use them in the same design technology.
