Oyrhynchus

Manuscript Tracking System is a rather uninspiring name for an application so I came up with Oxyrhynchus. Oxyrhynchus is a city in Egypt where they found a shed-load of ancient manuscripts. It sounds sort of weird as well, so I've borrowed it.

Technologies:

I'm using Prism 4.1 and the built in unity bootstrapper along with WPF 4. I'm intending to use SpecFlow for BDD and NUnit and RhinoMocks for the TTD. I'll be using Entity Framework Code First for the database layer.

UI Design:

I've designed a shell layout that has a menu on the left hand side, a main work area in the middle that is contained in a tab control. On the right side, I will have a smart search facility which will feature drag and drop of found items into the main area. The modules will register menu items with the shell, and the shell will manage the opening and closing of these views.
