This project actually consists of two parts; + The core part is a Silverlight application which serves content in a PowerPoint like approach, meaning that one page after another is displayed based on a controller (XML) file. Each page is a Silverlight Application which is dynamically loaded. What each Silverlight application does is up to the application but the base idea is that each application generates some content to display. We are using this to display TFS related information such as the status of each TFS Build and Open, Resolved and Closed bug per project and so on. + The second part is the development of various informational "pages" to display within the InfoKiosk. There are 3 projects included, one is the TFS Build Status, TFS Project Status and InfoPage Sample. The included TFS Build Status "page" can be compared to the build bunny, build lamp and other similar projects. This "TFS Build Status" info page displays all build types it finds within a TFS Server. The the solution is based on Silverlight 2.0 (RC1) and based on a "plug-n-play" design. The Silverlight page is meant to run in full screen mode on a TV or Monitor to show a development team about various areas of interest of their projects.
