On graphics projects: A watermarked and low-resolution version of the work.

Looking for a programmer that can assist/direct me in creating Controls for a WPF/Blend application in C#

I have been working on having an application develop for over a year, but it never seems to come to life, so after 3 rewrites and a depletion of the budget I am going to force myself to learn how to do this.

I have develop the existing controls of the application (user controls) but I always knew there was a better way to build them. With this being said I would like to find a programmer that can assist/direct me in building my controls more efficiently.

Requirements Interview Answers:
To help you bid more accurately, the buyer was interviewed about the requirements for this project. Below are their answers. Untitled Page

Project Type:

What kind of work do you need done?
Software related (Includes desktop applications and internet websites)

Project Parts:

What do you want the seller to do on this project?

Requirements:	The seller will analyze the problem and propose a software-based solution to the problem.
Programming:	The programmer will take the requirements and translate them into the language of the computer (and test it).

Req. Doc. Type:

What kind of documentation do you want for this project?
Informal documentation - As the buyer talks back and forth about the project with the seller, those conversations become the requirements.Remember to communicate ALL of the details of your project on the Rent A Coder site. If you don't, and there is a dispute, then important details of the contract will not be documented and cannot be taken into account in arbitration. If you feel you MUST go offsite (for example, using the phone or IM) then afterwards post everything onsite and get the other party to post that they agree to those contractual terms.

Program Type:

What kind of software should the seller create (and/or install)?

An internet web-site: This software runs on a web server and users will access it using their internet browser.
A desktop or server program: This software runs on a user's own PC/workstation, or on a server.

Internet web-site info

Design and functionality:

What does the programming of this project involve?

Design: Create the layout of the pages (or modify the layout of existing pages).

Modeling another site:

Do you wish to model another site? No

Size of website:

How many pages need to be created/edited in this website?
Exactly 1.

Programming Language:

What programming language(s) do you want your website written in?
I do know the language(s).
Languages(s):

Misc. details: I would like the create controls to be both compatible with WPF and Silverlight

Database:

Will this project include a database?
No, it does not include a database.

Browser Type(s)/Version(s):

Server Hosting Environment:

What is your server hosting environment?
I have a server at a 3rd party hosting company.
The name of the hosting company is: HostWay
The server's shared/dedicated status is: Dedicated just to me.

Component Compatibility Protection:
Sometimes a programmer may create features on the website that rely on componentswhich work fine on their own server, but won't work with your 3rd party hosting company's server. There are many reasons for this including version incompatibility, restricted permissions, etc... Rent A Coder normally requires that the programmer verify in advance that your 3rd party hosting provider will support the components. If they do not, then they are responsible for any incompatibilities, rather than you. Do you want this protection on your project?
No, I will be responsible for any components of the final solution that do not work with my hosting company.

Server Hosting Environment:

Will the coder develop "live" on your server?
No. The programmer is responsible for creating their own development and/or qc environment.

No, it does not include a database.

Legal:

1) I require complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done (so that I may modify it in the future).
2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
2a) If there are any server-side deliverables (intended to only exist in one place in the Buyer's environment) then they must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition (unless specified elsewhere by the Buyer).
2b) All other software (including but not limited to any desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute) must include a software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request (unless specified elsewhere by the Buyer).
3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased.
3b) No part of the deliverable may contain any copyright restricted 3rd party components (including GPL, GNU, Copyleft, etc.) unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the seller's Seller Legal Agreement.

Other Requirements:

The controls I need help developing are for an electronic training simulation. The controls themselves would resemble electronic components i.e. lights, switches, resistors, fuses etc.

The controls would work similar to a calculator i.e. a calculator has numeric values and function, the process of pressing values with functions creates a solutions. The simulator uses electronic components, each of which has a value, the processes of wiring (connecting/drawing a line or arc) from a power source to components is the function to collect the values. Test probes are place at valid points to obtain a sum/total. This is over simplified but the general concept. You can view more detailed information at the following links for how the components are connected, calculated and measured.

http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_1/chpt_5/3.html

http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_1/chpt_6/2.html

I have attached a sample of my current application with a brief instruction on how to use it, to demonstrate the controls I am working on; in addition I have the complete source code for all the controls that I will make available to interested bidders.

The application is only an example of what work I have done or had done on the controls, so please don’t confuse it with the work to be done as I am starting over… again, and I am only looking to get help on building the controls.

I have attached a zip file containing images of the app if you are unable to run the application itself along with some older pdf files that I created at the start of the project, that will provide information on the controls and how they work. The Application can be found in the ETS1 folder if you tunnel down to the debug file. I also have a separate application I attached that demonstrates, some future functionality I would like to look at possibly doing or being aware of.

Thank you for your time, and look forward to working with someone soon. Feel free to ask any question as I realize not being a programmer this request may be adequate enough to obtain a bid.

All deliverables must be uploaded to Rent A Coder before the deadline(s) for this project...with no exceptions. If this contract makes it impossible for a competent person to do this, then do not start this project...but instead alert Rent A Coder of an un-arbitratable, illegal project.
Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all business projects < $500 (before the buyer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the software buyer and seller agreements. Rent A Coder monitors all site activity for such violations and can instantly expel transgressors on the spot, so we thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.
