Silverlight Site Control UIWell, I've not posted on here for a couple of weeks so I thought I'd put another sample of the CMS development up on the blog.    It's another one of those "work in progress" pieces but it gives a good idea of the type of work I do.   As Microsoft's Silverlight 2.0 RC1 was formally released this week I thought I'd put something up that's related.  It's a part of the Silver Pride Content Management System (though it will be *much* more than a CMS in the future) and gives a nice idea of what the CMS is all about.   The system brings some of the best technologies out there for web development and makes good use of JQuery, Ajax and Silverlight to provide a rich user experience with a heavy emphasis on ease of use. 

This example in an early implementation of the site, client and page management system.   The CMS can allow a company to manage multiple clients with multiple sites from one common user interface.   This example shows a possible site hierarchy UI.  It doesn't do much here but it does demonstrate dynamic tree generation and insertion of nodes into the hierarchy with animated effects.

A demo can be seen here. http://silverlight.silver-pride.com/OrgChartTest.aspx.  Click on the "Add item" buttons to add a couple of dynamic nodes to the list.  I'll possibly make the demo more interesting in the future!

Note, you will need to install Silverlight to see this.  It's only around 4.5mb and it's now the official 2.0 release so it is worth it.
