At the 2010 MVP Summit in Redmond, I met up with the always-fun Microsoft MVP Bruno Sonnino. Bruno has developed a ton of great utilities over the years, including many for PC Mag.

In this video, Bruno talks about DiskPie Pro 2, a utility originally written in Delphi and recently rewritten in .NET using WPF. Check out the neat use of transitions and the sharp use of 3D charts and presentation.

Bruno, does the download include the source as well?

If not, can you briefly explain the UI composition that holds the main chart towards the middle and the 2 smaller charts to the right.

Also, are you using any UI frameworks such as PRISM or MEF?

Thanks and nice work!

No, it doesn't include the source code

For this composition, I've used BlackLight (http://blacklight.codeplex.com), it holds the windows and handles the animations when one of them is selected

I am using MVVM Light, from Laurent Bugnion (http://www.galasoft.ch/mvvm/getstarted/), to help with the MVVM boilerplate code and the use of its Messenger class.
