Stock Browser

Stock Browser is a viewer for stock share histories that are displayed in sharp 2-D graphics. It allows users to browse an entire year's stock market information. For example, a user could examine the daily price swings of a particular stock during a specific week of trading.

Stock Browser uses CommonPoint frameworks and class libraries including:

Presentation framework
Compound Document framework
Drag and Drop framework
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) services
Persistent storage
2-D Graphics

Through standard use of these frameworks and classes, Stock Browser manages a store of persistent objects, implements compound document behavior, establishes a client-server architecture, and displays a host of graphic objects.

The next section introduces you to the program's high-level architecture.
