If you want to build applications that take full advantage of
Windows Vista's new user interface capabilities, you need to learn
Microsoft's Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). This new
edition, fully updated for the official release of .NET 3.0, is
designed to get you up to speed on this technology quickly. By page
2, you'll be writing a simple WPF application. By the end of
Chapter 1, you'll have taken a complete tour of WPF and its major
elements.
WPF is the new presentation framework for Windows Vista that
also works with Windows XP. It's a cornucopia of new technologies,
which includes a new graphics engine that supports 3-D graphics,
animation, and more; an XML-based markup language, called XAML, for
declaring the structure of your Windows UI; and a radical new model
for controls.
This second edition includes new chapters on printing, XPS, 3-D,
navigation, text and documents, along with a new appendix that
covers Microsoft's new WPF/E platform for delivering richer UI
through standard web browsers -- much like Adobe Flash. Content
from the first edition has been significantly expanded and
modified. Programming WPF includes: Scores of C# and XAML examples
that show you what it takes to get a WPF application up and
running, from a simple "Hello, Avalon" program to a tic-tac-toe
gameInsightful discussions of the powerful new programming styles
that WPF brings to Windows development, especially its new model
for controlsA color insert to better illustrate WPF support for
3-D, color, and other graphics effectsA tutorial on XAML, the new
HTML-like markup language for declaring Windows UIAn explanation
and comparison of the features that support interoperability with
Windows Forms and other Windows legacy applications
WPF represents the best of the control-based Windows world and
the content-based web world. Programming WPF helps you bring it all
together.
