Wow, WPF has made simple tasks like printing a little trickier. Mainly due to XPS formats (Microsoft’s version of PDF). This is what Vista and Windows7 uses. Now we have finally figured out some tricks to get the printout to work. We should have this out today, or maybe tomorrow!

Since we are using a the WPF section of the .NET framework, we have ran into snags with the printing. Microsoft has changed the way you design the pages for print. Gives us a few more days, and then we will have the route guide template complete. Then, we ca start with the other templates.

We also hope to incorporate custom templates.

We’ve added a new look to the shopping cart. We hope we can learn a little more PHP and create out own order section and rid the use of 3rd party components. Must be a programmer’s thing. We just like to code everything ourselves .

If you have any problems with retrieving your account info, let us know. And the theme will be deleted and the shopping cart will be placed back to it’s orginial state.

With the template almost complete, we wanted to show you how it works and what it looks like.

 
Here is the route guide section with an instruction selected. When you select an instruction is toggles into an edit mode.

 
Here is the same route guide with a route instruction being inserted. The edit mode of a route guide instruction has spell check enabled.

When you select another part of the route guide, the instruction goes into display mode. This is what it will look like when you print your route guide.

We are almost done with the route guides, at this moment we are inserting the AI which will dynamically update the guide is a customer is removed from the guide.

Example:
1L    12345
2L    12346
1L    12347

If 12346 is removed, the guide will update like so:

1L    12345
3L    12347

Pretty neat, huh?
