What is WPF? Stands for Windows Presentation Foundation One of the 4 pillars of .NET 3.0 Microsoft s latest rendering technology for creating rich client applications
Basics Built on top of DirectX Windows Presentation Foundation Controls Data binding Layout 2-D and 3-D graphics Animation Styles Templates Media Documents, typography
Separating things XAML C# Designer Programmer Look and feel Wiring controls to methods Animation Style ... Retrieving data Submitting results Responding to events
Controls Standard (Button, TextBox, etc.) Media element - embedded movies/streaming movies Layout Controls can be nested NO DataGrid! (initially) DataTemplates are a much nicer way to display data
Demo USING XAML TO DEFINE UI
Animation Declarative animation Almost any property that can be set can be animated Height, position, background colour Size/rotation/colour Can be animated easily using Expression blend
Demo ANIMATION WITH EXPRESSION BLEND
Styles Used to set the property of more than one element Can theme an entire application Define button styles, list styles, etc. Similar to CSS Inheritance (Extending styles) Default style vs. explicit style setting
Demo STYLES
DataBinding Similar to Winforms and ASP.Net databinding Databind datasources to controls Automatically populate controls with data Automatic refreshing No DataGrid control to databind collections to DataTemplate tells data how to display itself
Demo DATABINDING
