Interface IModelViewer

The core interface implemented by all lemonedge platform applications, responsible for creating and returning the UI components requested from the core platform

This provides platform independance to the core ui code itself which does not need to know if the application is a console app, web app, or full blown desktop application

Namespace: LemonEdge.Client.Core
Assembly: LemonEdge.ClientCore.dll
Syntax
public interface IModelViewer
